Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
