Heat index

For February, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
