February weather forecast
Bukit Puan, Brunei

As the calendar flips to February, a subtle transformation of weather conditions can be noticed in Bukit Puan. The average low-lying temperatures witness a slight dip compared to January, however, the climatic patterns remain considerably similar. A tad drop in the level of humidity provides a much-needed reprieve from the stickiness. February also brings an increase in hours of sunshine while maintaining the same amount of daylight. Experiencing the last throes of the monsoon, rainfalls decrease, paving the way for a more parched climate in the coming months.

Bukit Puan's weather in February indicates an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.3°C (88.3°F), nearly consistent with the 30.8°C (87.4°F) of January. During February, Bukit Puan records an average temperature of 22.5°C (72.5°F) at night.

Heat index

February's average heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. 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 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
