Now, you might be thinking, "Heat index? That's just a fancy way of saying it's hot, right?" Well, not quite. Sure, it is hot, but the heat index takes things a step further.

Because let's be honest, high humidity can turn even a seemingly pleasant 80 degrees into a sticky nightmare.
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
