Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
