Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers.
