Heat index

In February, the average heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
