Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. 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.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. 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. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
