Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
