Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
