Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
