Heat index

The heat index value for February is computed to be a burning hot 52°C (125.6°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
