Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting 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.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
