Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children.
