February weather forecast
Chio, Angola

The last month of the summer, February, is another warm month in Chio, Angola, with an average temperature fluctuating between 29.7°C (85.5°F) and 19.8°C (67.6°F).

Temperature

At the onset of February, Chio records an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.7°C (85.5°F), showing little deviation from the preceding month. During February, the temperature tends to dip to an average of 19.8°C (67.6°F) at night.

Heat index

During February, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. 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 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

In February, the average relative humidity is 82%.

Rainfall

In Chio, during February, the rain falls for 21.2 days and regularly aggregates up to 126mm (4.96") of precipitation. In Chio, during the entire year, the rain falls for 208.7 days and collects up to 1182mm (46.54") of precipitation.

UV index

January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: A typical high UV index of 6 in February suggests the following recommendations:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
