February weather forecast
Ife, Nigeria

The last month of the winter, February, is also a fiery hot month in Ife, Nigeria, with an average temperature fluctuating between 22.6°C (72.7°F) and 36.9°C (98.4°F).

Temperature

Ife experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a still sweltering 36.9°C (98.4°F) with the onset of February, maintaining near parity with January's 37°C (98.6°F). Ife experiences a significant reduction from daytime highs with an average low-temperature of 22.6°C (72.7°F) in February.

Heat index

In February, the average heat index is computed to be a burning hot 54°C (129.2°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. 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. 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.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during February translates into these guidelines:
Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
