Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
