Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
