February weather forecast
Buenos Aires, Panama

The last month of the winter, February, is another tropical month in Buenos Aires, Panama, with an average temperature varying between 31.1°C (88°F) and 23.1°C (73.6°F).

Temperature

The transition from January to February sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.1°C (88°F), indicating a minor variance from the prior month. During February, Buenos Aires observes a consistent average nighttime temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F).

Heat index

In February, the average heat index is computed to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

In Buenos Aires, the average relative humidity in February is 74%.

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during February translates into the following recommendations:
Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
