Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity.
