Heat index

For February, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
