Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
