Temperature

February, with its high-temperature average of 29.3°C (84.7°F) and a low-temperature average of 21.2°C (70.2°F), is the coldest month.

Heat index

February's average heat index is evaluated at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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 primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. 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.
