Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
