Heat index

Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity.

Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
