February weather forecast
Kendari, Indonesia

February carries on January's abundant rainfall legacy, nudging the precipitation levels in Kendari a tad bit higher to 212mm (8.35"). As far as temperature fluctuations go, February isn't much different from its predecessor, packing similar highs and lows in the daily weather routine. Notwithstanding the dominant flush of rainy days, the city's damp atmosphere doesn't convert to a dramatic drop or rise in these parameters. Consequently, touring the city during this time might entail packing an extra raincoat or umbrella.

Temperature

As January transitions into February, Kendari records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F), showing a gentle shift from the preceding month. An average minimum temperature of 24.3°C (75.7°F) is recorded during the month of February.

Heat index

February's heat index is appraised at a blistering 40°C (104°F). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Adhere to precautions and respect sun safety doctrines. Avoiding sunburn is vital. 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. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half. Take note! The UV strength of the Sun elevates when reflected off water and sand.
