Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
