Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire.

Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation.
