The last month of the winter, February, is another tropical month in Nongoa, Guinea, with an average temperature varying between 18.2°C (64.8°F) and 34.8°C (94.6°F).

Temperature

Temperatures reach their maximum during February and March, recording an average high-temperature of 34.8°C (94.6°F).

Heat index

The heat index in February is computed to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. 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. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
