Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
