Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression.

It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
