Heat index

February's heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
