Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
