Heat index

For February, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 51°C (123.8°F). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 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. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
