Heat index

February's heat index is calculated to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
