Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
