Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
