February weather forecast
Batam, Indonesia

The weather pattern in February in Batam tends to show some relief from the heavy rainfall seen in January. A marked decrease in rainfall volume clears the way for increased sunshine hours, brightening up the city. Batam's climate exhibits its main features with modest changes, an example being a decrease in rainfall to 73mm (2.87") in February, compared to 137mm (5.39") in the prior month.

Temperature

The commencement of February in Batam introduces an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.7°C (85.5°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. A consistent average low of 25.7°C (78.3°F) is noted throughout February, only a small step down from its daytime high.

Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
