Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
