Heat index

The heat index value during February is calculated to be a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
