Temperature

Médeyre records the coldest temperatures in February, averaging a high of 29.1°C (84.4°F) and a low of 22.6°C (72.7°F).

Heat index

In February, the average heat index is computed to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

UV index

January through June and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: In February, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests these recommendations:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
