Weather in February
Temperature
February welcomes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.8°C (83.8°F), not much different from the preceding month. The temperature in Richmond dips to an average of 20.6°C (69.1°F) during February nights.Heat index
February's mean heat index is computed to be a tropical 34°C (93.2°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
