Weather in February

Moving into February, significant changes in Accra's weather are scarcely noticeable. The rainfall still remains at a modest level, making it a particularly dry month. The wind speed gathers a bit more momentum, leading to relatively cooler late evening and early morning hours. A unique feature of this month's weather is the increased average wind speed with 14.8km/h (9.2mph). As citizens look forward to March, expectations tilt towards a dramatic transition including an increase in temperatures.

Accra indicates an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.1°C (88°F) in February, showing minor variation from January's 31.2°C (88.2°F). Accra sustains a near constant temperature throughout February, with nighttime averages of 26.1°C (79°F).

Heat index

For February, the heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
