Weather in February
Temperature
The advent of February brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.2°C (86.4°F), almost identical to the preceding month. Nighttime temperature reflects an average dip to a warm 25.5°C (77.9°F) in February, subtly cooler than its daytime highs.Heat index
The heat index value for February is estimated at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. 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 extremely significant for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
Humidity
January through March, with an average relative humidity of 78%, are the most humid months.Rainfall
In February, the rain falls for 22.3 days. Throughout February, 208mm (8.19") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 161.7 rainfall days, and 952mm (37.48") of precipitation is accumulated.Daylight

Sunshine
In February, the average sunshine is 9.2h.UV index
January through May, August through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: In February, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
