Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to 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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
