February weather forecast
Watheroo, Australia

February, the last month of the summer in Watheroo, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 34.4°C (93.9°F) and 20.9°C (69.6°F).

Temperature

The arrival of February coincides with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 34.4°C (93.9°F), indicating a minimal shift from January's 34.8°C (94.6°F). A noteworthy thermal contrast characterizes Watheroo's February nights, with temperatures averaging at a pleasant 20.9°C (69.6°F).

Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. 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 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Humidity

With an average relative humidity of 43%, February is the least humid month.

UV index

January, February and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during February translates into these guidelines:
Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
