Weather in February

Stepping into February, the weather in Windhoek remains warm, but with an increased probability of rainfall in comparison to January. The month overlooks a significant rise in rainfall, jumping from 46mm (1.81") to 102mm (4.02"), making February the wettest month of the year. While the temperatures fall slightly, the abundance of water gives the city a distinctive, lush green appearance. Interestingly, the increase in moisture also introduces a rise in relative humidity. As the month concludes, residents expect March to bring a faint but noticeable decrease in rainfall.

Temperature

The start of February sees the average high-temperature at a still moderately hot 27.7°C (81.9°F), showing little difference from January's 29°C (84.2°F). During the nights in February, Windhoek observes an average low-temperature of 17.3°C (63.1°F).

Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is computed to be 28°C (82.4°F). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
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. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
