February weather forecast
Belmonte, Brazil

February, the last month of the summer in Belmonte, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 29.4°C (84.9°F) and min 23.5°C (74.3°F).

Temperature

The advent of February sees the average high-temperature at a still moderately hot 29.4°C (84.9°F), subtly shifted from January's 29.2°C (84.6°F). Throughout February, the average low-temperature dips to a still warm 23.5°C (74.3°F).

Heat index

The heat index in February is appraised at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Humidity

February is the least humid month, with an average relative humidity of 78%.

Rainfall

In February, in Belmonte, the rain falls for 14.8 days. Throughout February, 23mm (0.91") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 181.6 rainfall days, and 408mm (16.06") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

January through March, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in February suggests the following recommendations:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes. Caution! The Sun's UV intensity grows with reflections off sand and water.
