Hernandarias's warmest season falls during January and February, averaging a high-temperature of 31.4°C (88.5°F).

Heat index

In February, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Note: In February, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
