February weather forecast
Macherla, India

February, the last month of the winter in Macherla, is another hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 33.4°C (92.1°F) and min 19.7°C (67.5°F).

Temperature

February's onset is marked by a subtle temperature increase, moving from 30.1°C (86.2°F) in January to a still tropical 33.4°C (92.1°F). February nights in Macherla showcase a dramatic shift from daytime highs to an average temperature of 19.7°C (67.5°F).

Heat index

In February, the average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during February translates into the following recommendations:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. To best shield against UV radiation, choose sun-safe garments and dependable sunglasses.
