Temperature

Abekenta's warmest month, February, registers temperatures that range from a high of 36.3°C (97.3°F) to a low of 24.4°C (75.9°F).

Heat index

February's average heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. 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 hold particular significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Note: In February, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
