Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

In February, the average relative humidity is 62%.

Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
