February weather forecast
Lusu, Namibia

The last month of the summer, February, is also a hot month in Lusu, Namibia, with an average temperature ranging between min 19.6°C (67.3°F) and max 30.1°C (86.2°F).

Temperature

The transition from January to February sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a still tropical 30.1°C (86.2°F), from a not significantly different 30.3°C (86.5°F). Nighttime temperatures consistently average a comfortable 19.6°C (67.3°F) during February.

Heat index

February's average heat index is appraised at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
