Heat index

For February, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
