Heat index

The heat index value during February is appraised at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. 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. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Note: In February, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Act on precautions and pay attention to sun safety recommendations. Avoidance of sunburn is obligatory. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat. Watch out! Sand and water enhance the UV exposure you receive.
