February weather forecast
Korokula, Fiji

Moving into February, the weather starts to heat up a bit with slightly higher temperature highs and lows compared to January. Vibrant sunshine is not as prevalent due to increased cloud coverage lingering around the Korokula skyline. The persistent rain showers from January carry over into this month, albeit in a diminished capacity. Notably, the weather tends to become windier with the average wind speed clocking in at approximately 11.7km/h (7.3mph). The pressure also dips to a yearly low of 1007.1 mb, enhancing the humid climate in Korokula.

Heat index

The heat index for February is evaluated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
