Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
