Adzope also experiences an upsurge in the number of rainy days, from 7.3 in January to 13.5 in February. The city, however, continues to enjoy more hours of sunshine than many others in the region. Despite the spikes in relative humidity and rainfall, the weather remains ideal for both indoor and outdoor activities.

Temperature

Temperature readings reach their annual highs in February, averaging 36.5°C (97.7°F) and a minimum average of 21.9°C (71.4°F).

Heat index

In February, the average heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 53°C (127.4°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Humidity

In February, the average relative humidity is 66%.

Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
