Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered.

One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
