Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered.

Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
