Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
