Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial 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.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
