February weather forecast
Aconekién, Equatorial Guinea

Entering February, the shift in weather patterns fully embraces the contrast from the cooler start of the year. The humidity increases markedly, while the rain doubles from the previous month's totals. Nevertheless, the sunlight hours begin to decrease, casting longer shadows during this month. Average temperatures remain fairly constant, providing consistency despite other shifts in climatological conditions. The highlight this month is an increased rainfall from 37mm (1.46") in January to 76mm (2.99").

Temperature

February, recognised by an average high temperature of 32.3°C (90.1°F) and a low of 21.1°C (70°F), is Aconekién's warmest month.

Heat index

February's average heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

In February, the average relative humidity is 82%.

Rainfall

In Aconekién, in February, during 22.8 rainfall days, 76mm (2.99") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 317.5 rainfall days, and 1608mm (63.31") of precipitation is accumulated.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in February is 7.8h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through May and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: In February, the maximum UV index of 6 transforms into these recommendations:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
