Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat.

By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
