Heat intensity (how Hot is it) is measured by the objects Temperature in Degrees, Fahrenheit, Centigrade, or Kelvin. Heat content (energy) is most commonly measured in Calories.
Kelvin
Water temperature tells you how cold or hot the water is. If the water is hot, the heat indicates the kinetic energy of the water.
Heat is defined as the total kinetic energy of all the atoms and molecules that make up a substance.Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual atoms or molecules in a substance.
The effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance is called heat transfer. As heat increases, the temperature decreases.

Both of those individual temperature scales can be used to indicate heat.
The difference between heat and temperature is that heat is the amount of energy given off by a piece of matter, and Specific Heat indicates the amount of heat necessary to change 1g of something by 1 degree. Temperature measures change in heat.
The heat index combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine how hot it feels outside.

Heat is a form of energy, temperature is a point on an arbitary scale. A hot day is not the same temperature as a hot drink and that is not the same temperature as a hot oven. The temperatures 20C, 68F, 293K and 528Ra are all the same temperature on different scales.
Specific heat indicates the amount of heat per unit mass. This is typically used when there is a rise in temperature by one degree Celsius.Ê
Different
heat is a energy and temperature is a measurement . (of how concentrated it is)
Heat is the energy transferred from one body to another as the result of a difference in temperature. Heat flows from a hotter body to a colder body when the two bodies are brought together. This transfer of energy results in an increase in the temperature of the colder body and a decrease in the temperature of the hotter body. Temperature is a measure of the average energy of the molecules of a body. It is expressed in terms of any of several scales, such as Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin.
The Kelvin scale starts at a true zero; 0o K is the temperature at which there is actually no heat. Therefore, you get a true measure of heat using this system; an object at twice the temperature in kelvins is actually twice as hot. That is not true of other temperature scales such as Celsius or Fahrenheit.
