Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
