February weather forecast
El Piñón, Colombia

February, the last month of the winter in El Piñón, is also a sweltering month, with an average temperature ranging between min 24.2°C (75.6°F) and max 38.1°C (100.6°F).

Temperature

The arrival of February sees an average high-temperature of a still torrid 38.1°C (100.6°F), hardly diverging from January's 36.8°C (98.2°F). El Piñón's nighttime temperatures in February reflect a stark contrast to the day's highs, falling to an average low of 24.2°C (75.6°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in February is calculated to be a blazing hot 53°C (127.4°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Be sure to take precautions. Without protection, skin might suffer damage quickly. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
