Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
