Heat index

Throughout February, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 50°C (122°F). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Adhere to precautions and respect sun safety doctrines. Avoiding sunburn is vital. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
