Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
