Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
