If you use the National Weather Service you will find inputting a temp of 90 and 100% humidity gives you a heat index of 132.
There is more that goes into heat index. One can extrapolate a heat index using algorithms within the K-index vertical lapse rate. Anyway, a Heat Ind. Of 120+ is an almost daily occurrence during the summer in central FL.
