Temperature

February registers as the month with the highest average temperatures, reaching 36.1°C (97°F) at its peak and 22°C (71.6°F) at the lowest.

Heat index

Throughout February, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. 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. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. 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. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
