Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
