Heat index

For February, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
