Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
