February weather forecast
Esiẹ, Nigeria

As Esiẹ steps into February, a marked increase in precipitation brings about a change in the weather pattern. February records rainfall measured at 14mm (0.55"), marking a significant rise when compared to the preceding month. Trends in temperature do not see much alteration, maintaining nearly consistent levels. The wind appears to gather more momentum as the speed escalates to 7.3km/h (4.5mph), heightening by a fair margin. This transition signals the aligning of weather patterns towards the wetter part of the year.

Temperature

The warmest period tends to be February, when average temperatures fluctuate between a high of 37.4°C (99.3°F) and a low of 22.2°C (72°F).

Heat index

During February, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Note: The UV index of 7 during February translates into the following guidance:
Adhere to precautions and respect sun safety doctrines. Avoiding sunburn is vital. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
