Temperature

The average temperatures reach their apex in February, averaging 33.6°C (92.5°F) at the high end and 18.2°C (64.8°F) at the low end.

Heat index

The heat index value during February is evaluated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
