Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration.
