Heat index

The heat index value for February is estimated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
