Heat index

For February, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 40°C (104°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades. Warning! Sand and water reflections boost the intensity of UV exposure.
