Temperature

February is the coldest month of the year, registering average temperatures as high as 29.5°C (85.1°F) and as low as 21.1°C (70°F).

Heat index

The heat index for February is calculated to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
