Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences.

Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
