February weather forecast
Binge, Angola

The last month of the summer, February, is a tropical month in Binge, Angola, with an average temperature varying between 30.1°C (86.2°F) and 21°C (69.8°F).

Temperature

The transition from January to February brings an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.1°C (86.2°F), barely different from January's 28.8°C (83.8°F). Binge, during the month of February, experiences an average low-temperature of 21°C (69.8°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for February is computed to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in February is 85%.

Rainfall

In February, the rain falls for 23.8 days. Throughout February, 122mm (4.8") of precipitation is accumulated. In Binge, during the entire year, the rain falls for 233.4 days and collects up to 1301mm (51.22") of precipitation.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in February is 7.8h.

UV index

January through August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 in February converts into the following recommendations:
Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
