February weather forecast
Itabuna, Brazil

The last month of the summer, February, is a hot month in Itabuna, Brazil, with an average temperature varying between 30°C (86°F) and 21.5°C (70.7°F).

Temperature

The onset of February marks an average high-temperature of a hot 30°C (86°F), hardly differing from January's 29.6°C (85.3°F). During February, an average low-temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F) is observed in Itabuna.

Heat index

During February, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

With an average relative humidity of 81%, February is the least humid month in Itabuna, Brazil.

UV index

January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index in Itabuna. The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: An average maximum UV index of 6 in February leads to these recommendations:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
