Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
