Heat index

Throughout February, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. 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 human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

In February, the average relative humidity is 80%.

Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
