Weather in February
Temperature
Barranco experiences its lowest average temperatures in February, reaching a peak of 30.7°C (87.3°F) and a minimum of 22.7°C (72.9°F).Heat index
For February, the heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
Humidity
February and March, with an average relative humidity of 83%, are the most humid months.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is February, when the rain falls for 27.3 days and typically aggregates up to 325mm (12.8") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
The months with the least sunshine are January and February, with an average of 6.8h of sunshine.UV index
January through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 in February interprets into the following recommendations:
Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
