February weather forecast
Ndjole, Gabon

Despite the similar high and low temperature patterns in February, a shift in atmospheric pressure is a distinguishing feature for this month, leaving room for heavier breezes. This shift in pressure is subtle, standing at around 1010.1mb. Visibility remains relatively constant, paving the way for clear outdoor plans. There is a slight decrease in humidity, which may translate to slightly drier conditions. A closer look at the weather patterns reveals a stable weather ecosystem with few disruptions.

Temperature

February is marked by an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.3°C (90.1°F), almost identical to the preceding month. Throughout February, the average low-temperature records at a moderately hot 23.4°C (74.1°F).

Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. 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.
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 increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
