Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
