Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.

Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
