Heat index

February's mean heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. 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 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly. Be mindful! Sand and water reflections can up the Sun's UV exposure.
