Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Note: The daily maximum UV index of 8 in February interprets into the following advice:
Swift harm can befall unprotected skin and eyes. Prioritize safety. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
