Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading.

Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
