Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
