Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children.
