Heat index

Throughout February, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 40°C (104°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

In February, the average relative humidity is 63%.

UV index

January through March, August through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during February translates into the following recommendations:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
