Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
