Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
