A generalized view of the heat index showing how the perception of heat by the human body increases with temperature but more rapidly at higher humidity levels. The heat index of a given combination of temperature and humidity is defined as the dry-bulb temperature which would feel the same if the water vapor pressure were 1.6 kPa. Quoting ...
