Weather in February
Temperature
The arrival of February brings an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F), subtly diverging from January's 29.4°C (84.9°F). Throughout February, Tshikana anticipates an average low-temperature of 20.8°C (69.4°F).Heat index
In February, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
