Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. 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 children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
