Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
