Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
