February weather forecast
Mariarano, Madagascar

February, the last month of the summer in Mariarano, is a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 25.2°C (77.4°F) and max 30.3°C (86.5°F).

Temperature

An average high-temperature of a tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F) marks February, exhibiting a close resemblance to the conditions in January. Nightly temperatures drop to an average low of 25.2°C (77.4°F) in February.

Heat index

February's average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. 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. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are January and February, with an average relative humidity of 78%.

Rainfall

In February, the rain falls for 22.8 days. Throughout February, 147mm (5.79") of precipitation is accumulated. In Mariarano, during the entire year, the rain falls for 161.5 days and collects up to 817mm (32.17") of precipitation.

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 value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index, 7 in February, converts into the following recommendations:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
