Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
