The heat index, also known as the "apparent temperature," was developed in 1978 by Robert G. Steadman, a meteorologist. It combines air temperature and relative humidity to estimate what the temperature feels like to the human body. Since its introduction, the heat index has become an important tool for assessing heat-related health risks.
