Weather in February
Temperature
February's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.5°C (85.1°F), barely different from January's 28.4°C (83.1°F). Vankalai reports an average low-temperature of 23.9°C (75°F) during the nights of February.Heat index
February's average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
