Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content.

Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. 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 has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat.

Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
