Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots 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', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
