Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children.
