February weather forecast
Pune, India

Into the second month of the year, a gradual warming trend is visible in Pune's climate. This warmer trend coupled with a sterling increase in sunlight, saturates the City's weather with an inviting allure. Temperatures mildly escalate from the previous month, peaking at a balmy 32.8°C (91°F). February remains notably dry, akin to January, with precipitation just fluttering around 1mm (0.04"). Mild and pleasant evenings persist, as the city moves steadily towards the summer season.

Temperature

Pune's entry into February measures an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.8°C (91°F), closely parallel to the preceding month. Significant dips from daytime highs mark the February nights, with a consistent average temperature of 12.7°C (54.9°F).

Heat index

Throughout February, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
