Temperature

February, with an average high of 32.1°C (89.8°F) and a low of 21.7°C (71.1°F), signifies the warmest month of the year.

Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
