Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels.

Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
