Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.

Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
