Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
