Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
