Heat index

The heat index value during February is computed to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
