February signals a transition period in
Nan's weather conditions as temperatures continue to climb. February days are slightly lengthier, allowing more time for outdoor activities in the warm, sunny weather. This month's climate augments the delight of the ongoing Spring Festival. The most distinctive detail of the weather in February is an increase in rainfall compared to
January, rising up to12mm (0.47") spread across two days. Overall, February marks a favorable time to enjoy the colorful bloom while the weather is still not too hot.
Temperature
The commencement of February notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.4°C (92.1°F), exhibiting little difference from the previous month. Despite a significant disparity with daytime temperatures, an average low-temperature of 15.6°C (60.1°F) is recorded during February.
Heat index
February's mean heat index is estimated at a burning hot 45°C (113°F).
Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Adopt all essential precautions. Preventing sun harm is crucial. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat. Despite the cloud cover, sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 should be generously applied and reapplied, particularly after a swim or an outdoor workout.
