Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity.

Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases.

When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
