Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children.
