Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. 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. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
