The transition from January to February sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a hot 30.1°C (86.2°F), from a not significantly different 29.6°C (85.3°F). In the month of February, the average low-temperature usually rests at a moderately hot 23.8°C (74.8°F).

Heat index

The heat index in February is evaluated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
