Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it.

When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
