February weather forecast
Momi, Fiji

February continues with the weather pattern set in January, yet with a small increase in temperature. Despite the rise in heat, the relative humidity remains stable, providing a comfortable climate. An observable reduction in rainfall occurs as the month progresses, a slight relief from January's heavy showers. The maximum wind speed measures 12.2km/h (7.6mph), a trifle quicker than the previous month. Heading into March, Momi's weather reflects similar trends with slight variations in temperature and daylight hours.

Temperature

Momi's warmest month, February, generally records average temperatures ranging from a high of 29.4°C (84.9°F) to a low of 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Heat index

For February, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. 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 hold particular significance for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

UV index

January, February, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: During February, 7 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
