Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
