Turbo, Colombia, registers an average high-temperature of a warm 29.8°C (85.6°F) at the commencement of February, closely related to the preceding month. Throughout the month of February, Turbo reports a steady low-temperature average of 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Heat index

During February, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Note: In February, a daily UV index of 6 turns into the following recommendations:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely. Caution! The reflection of sand and water significantly amplifies the Sun's UV radiation.
