February weather forecast
Pokola, Congo

February, the last month of the winter in Pokola, is also a sweltering month, with an average temperature varying between 35.3°C (95.5°F) and 22.3°C (72.1°F).

Temperature

The average high-temperature is a still fiery hot 35.3°C (95.5°F) in February, hardly different from the 35.7°C (96.3°F) recorded in January. Pokola's nighttime average of 22.3°C (72.1°F) during February reflects a substantial decrease from the daytime temperature.

Heat index

The heat index for February is estimated at a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Note: In February, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
