Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
