What's a heat index?

By employing the contrivance of a "heat index," local media hype near-record-high temperatures past the reality of an accurate thermometer. Have you ever wondered why, during summer, no mention is made of wind chill and why, during winter, no mention is made of a heat index? Have you ever wondered what else is distorted and exaggerated by media hype?
