Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
