Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
