Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
