Heat index

The heat index in February is computed to be a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Humidity
