Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
