February weather forecast
Anjajavy, Madagascar

Much akin to January, February in Anjajavy continues to display the wet season's traits. A reduction in rainfall is evident, yet the weather holds a largely damp character. It retains the overall warm temperature from the previous month, leaning slightly towards an added warmth by a negligible margin. Even with a decrease, the humidity doesn't falter much, perpetuating the tropical moisture of the air. The sea temperature also remains consistent, inviting for marine excursions.

Temperature

Anjajavy's February average high-temperature settles at a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F), showing a near match with the preceding month. In February, Anjajavy encounters an average low-temperature of 24.3°C (75.7°F) during the night.

Heat index

February's mean heat index is computed to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index in Anjajavy are January through April, August through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in February translates into the following recommendations:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage. Alert! The Sun's UV rays are heightened by the reflection of sand and water.
