Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital 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 human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
