Temperature

February's onset sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.1°C (88°F), exhibiting a slight fluctuation from the previous month. Throughout February nights, Caridade experiences a consistent temperature average of 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

February's mean heat index is calculated to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in February is 78%.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January through July, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: A maximum high UV index of 6 in February translates into the following recommendations:
Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
