Weather in February
Temperature
The warmest period, with an average high-temperature of 29.8°C (85.6°F), falls in February and December.Heat index
In February, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection.
