Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. 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. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
