Temperature

The onset of February manifests an average high-temperature of a still torrid 36.8°C (98.2°F), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. The average low-temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F) in February represents a significant drop from the daily high.

Heat index

In February, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Note: In February, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
