February weather forecast
Iron Range, Australia

February, the last month of the summer in Iron Range, is another hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 23.9°C (75°F) and max 31.1°C (88°F).

Temperature

Upon the beginning of February, Iron Range's high-temperatures register at a still hot 31.1°C (88°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. In the month of February, Iron Range records a consistent average low-temperature of 23.9°C (75°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during February is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

UV index

February, March, October and November, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Iron Range. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In February, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
