Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids.
