Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. 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. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
