Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
