February weather forecast
Sastre, Argentina

The last month of the summer, February, is another hot month in Sastre, Argentina, with an average temperature varying between 19.9°C (67.8°F) and 32.2°C (90°F).

Temperature

With February's advent, Sastre sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.2°C (90°F), subtly shifted from January's 33.9°C (93°F). Sastre's February nights represent a significant downturn from the day's heat, with an average temperature of 19.9°C (67.8°F).

Heat index

During February, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Note: In February, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
