February weather forecast
Seguela, Ivory Coast

As Seguela transitions into February, marked weather shifts occur. An increase in cloud coverage sets the stage for the beginning of the wet season. The rainfall quadruples from 16mm (0.63") to 59mm (2.32"), a vast contrast to the dry January. The skies allow a lesser amount of sunshine hours to penetrate, with averages falling to 9.4 hours a day. Despite the higher nighttime temperatures, the increased humidity to 57% can make the weather feel slightly more oppressive.

Temperature

Seguela records the warmest temperatures in February, averaging a high of 34°C (93.2°F) and a low of 19.6°C (67.3°F).

Heat index

February's heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. 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.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
