Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
