Heat index

During February, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
