Weather in February
Temperature
With the transition into February, Virugambakkam notes an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.8°C (85.6°F), closely resembling January. During February nights, Virugambakkam witnesses a consistent average temperature of 22.7°C (72.9°F).Heat index
The average heat index in February is estimated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
