Generation

The heat index tells you how hot it *feels* to your body, not just what the thermometer says. When humidity is high, your sweat can't evaporate as easily, which prevents your body from cooling itself effectively—so 90°F with high humidity feels much hotter than 90°F on a dry day. Meteorologists combine air temperature and relative humidity using a formula to calculate this "feels like" temperature, helping you understand the actual stress your body experiences. For example, 95°F with 60% humidity produces a heat index around 116°F, which is why humid heat can be dangerous even at seemingly moderate temperatures.
