Heat index

The average heat index in February is estimated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. 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 hold particular importance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
