For February, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. 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 especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
