What is Heat Index?
  Heat Index
Heat index is a mathematical formula that combines air temperature and relative humidity to calculate an apparent temperature — how hot it feels. The human body normally cools itself by sweating, as the water in sweat evaporates and carries heat away from the body. But when relative humidity is high, water doesn't evaporate as quickly, so the body retains more heat.
