Temperature

The arrival of February denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a hot 33.8°C (92.8°F) from January's 35.5°C (95.9°F). An average low-temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F) is noted during the month of February.

Heat index

For February, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Note: In February, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 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. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
