Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels.

It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
