Heat index

February's average heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
