Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is evaluated at a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. 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 highly critical to 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 body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
