Heat index

February's average heat index is computed to be a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority.

On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
