February, the last month of the winter in Koya, is also a hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 31.3°C (88.3°F) and 24.2°C (75.6°F).

Heat index

Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
