Weather in February
Temperature
February's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.8°C (83.8°F), showing a minute difference from January's 29.1°C (84.4°F). An average nighttime temperature of 20.3°C (68.5°F) is recorded during February.Heat index
For most parts of February, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: A maximum daily UV index of 6 during February morphs into the following directions:
Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
