    The heat index is a measure of how hot it feels outside when relative humidity is factored in with the actual air temperature. The higher the humidity, the hotter it will feel. For example, at 100°F with 50% relative humidity, it would feel like it is 120°F outside. The heat index table shows four danger categories ranging from caution to extreme danger based on the apparent temperature.

    What is Heat Index & How to Calculate It?

    The heat index is a measure of the contribution that high humidity makes with abnormally high
    temperatures in reducing the body’s ability to cool itself. For example, the heat index table shows that
    for an actual air temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative humidity of 50%, the effect on the
    human body would be the same as 120 degrees.
