Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
