Temperature

The onset of February manifests an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31°C (87.8°F), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. Nighttime temperature dips to a mean of 24.4°C (75.9°F) during February.

Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. 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 extremely significant for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
