Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
