Heat index

February's mean heat index is appraised at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful 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.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
