Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air.

Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly 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.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
