February weather forecast
Alor Pongsu, Malaysia

February, the last month of the winter in Alor Pongsu, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between max 31.8°C (89.2°F) and min 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Temperature

The initiation of February sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.8°C (89.2°F), showing minor variations from the previous month. An average low-temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F) is expected during February.

Heat index

February's average heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

In February, the average relative humidity is 78%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index in Alor Pongsu are January through October and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in February translates into the following recommendations:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
