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

By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
