Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
