February weather forecast
Bengaluru, India

As Bengaluru goes into February, the city experiences a slight uptick in rainfall volumes, signalling the start of the pre-monsoon period. The temperatures also show a minor increase from January, with the transition between the two months being subtle.

Temperature

The beginning of February in Bengaluru records an average high-temperature of a hot 30.2°C (86.4°F), marking a negligible difference from January's 27.6°C (81.7°F). Bengaluru's February nights see a large temperature deviation, with temperatures resting at a low of 17.2°C (63°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in February is calculated to be a hot 32°C (89.6°F). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for 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.

Humidity

In February, the average relative humidity is 52%.

Practice every essential safety step. People with fair skin could receive burns in fewer than 5 minutes. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear. Post an outdoor workout or swimming, a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen should be applied generously and frequently.
