Heat index

During February, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
