Temperature

The onset of February brings with it an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.8°C (91°F), showing a negligible variation from the month before. Sembe in February experiences a low-temperature average of 20.8°C (69.4°F).

Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
