Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
