What is the heat index?

The heat index combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single number that reflects what your body actually experiences. The more humid the air, the less sweat can evaporate — so the body feels hotter than the measured temperature.

In coastal Gulf cities the feels-like can exceed the measured temperature by ten degrees or more in summer. Drink water regularly, avoid the midday peak, and never leave children or pets in parked cars.
