Heat index

February's heat index is evaluated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Adhere to precautions and respect sun safety doctrines. Avoiding sunburn is vital. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
