You’re right, context is important here.
The image came from a twitter post. „Heat index“ means basically „Feels like“.

The heck is “heat index”

Jesus Christ, 158 F heat index is so far out of bounds on that scale it's insane. What's after "Extreme Danger"? "People will die"? "Being outside is suicide"?
Ah phew. It’s just the absolute limit for human survivability 😮💨
It's when it feels really hot and you look at the thermometer and think, "wow is that it? I better arbitrarily add a few more degrees so people know it's really hot"
I found this on the ol' search machine https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/08/09/iran-persian-gulf-extreme-heat/
