The last month of the summer, February, is a tropical month in Kimboto, Congo, with an average temperature varying between 21.8°C (71.2°F) and 30.7°C (87.3°F).

Temperature

Kimboto marks the onset of February with an average high-temperature of a hot 30.7°C (87.3°F), subtly divergent from January's 29.8°C (85.6°F). In February, the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 21.8°C (71.2°F).

Heat index

Throughout February, the heat index is appraised at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

The average relative humidity in February is 84%.

UV index

Note: The maximum UV index, 6 during February, leads to the following recommendations:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
