Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
