The heat index, often referred to as the "apparent temperature," is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the perceived temperature or how hot it feels to the human body. High humidity can hinder the body's ability to cool itself through sweating, making it feel hotter than the actual air temperature. The heat index is particularly important during hot weather, as it provides a more accurate representation of heat stress on the body.
