Temperature

Mvengue experiences its highest average temperatures in February, reaching a peak of 32.1°C (89.8°F) and a minimum of 21.7°C (71.1°F).

Heat index

The heat index for February is estimated at a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. 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 vital to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
