Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people.

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 extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
