February weather forecast
Sukang, Brunei

As the second month rolls in, some changes in the weather patterns can be noted in Sukang, Brunei. A slight dip from January's rainfall to 126mm (4.96") indicates a minor reduction in precipitation. Still, the wet conditions persist, contributing to the high relative humidity. Consequently, the outcome is an environment that is relatively more serene and chilly, especially during the early mornings and late evenings. Citizens must remain conscious of the occasional gusty winds that could impact outdoor activities.

Temperature

The start of February sees the average high-temperature at a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F), showing little difference from January's 30.8°C (87.4°F). Sukang's temperature lowers to a mean of 22.5°C (72.5°F) during the nights in February.

Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in February is 84%.

Rainfall

In February, the rain falls for 23.7 days. Throughout February, 126mm (4.96") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 304 rainfall days, and 1858mm (73.15") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are February through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In February, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
