Heat index

The heat index in February is calculated to be a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
