Temperature

February's onset records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F), a near match to January's 31.8°C (89.2°F). An average low-temperature of 25.5°C (77.9°F) is anticipated throughout the nights during February.

Heat index

Throughout February, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

The average relative humidity in February is 76%.

Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
