Heat index

In February, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
