Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate.
