Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent.

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 particularly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less.
