Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
