Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
