February

Weather in February

February exhibits incremental changes in the weather with a slight increase in average temperatures. In February, the wind speed declines to 23.9km/h (14.9mph) maintaining a more subdued air. The number of bright and sunny days offset the rainy days, making the majority of February comfortably warm and exploratory. The transition from January to February doesn't disrupt outdoor ventures as weather conditions remain relatively constant. The UV index remains at a steady rate, making sun protection necessary for outdoor explorations.

Temperature

The shift into February reveals an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.7°C (81.9°F), closely mirroring January's climate. The nights of February anticipate a slight dip from daytime high temperatures, settling to an average low-temperature of 26.8°C (80.2°F).

Heat index

In February, the average heat index is evaluated at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
