Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception.

Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
