Heat index

In February, the average heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. 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 are particularly relevant to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through March, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: A maximum daily UV index of 7 during February morphs into the following directions:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
