Weather in February
Temperature
The transition from January to February brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.6°C (85.3°F), barely different from January's 29.8°C (85.6°F). Throughout the month of February, the nighttime temperature dips to an average of 24.3°C (75.7°F).Heat index
The heat index value during February is computed to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

The months with the lowest UV index in Gordon are February, June through September, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: During February, 6 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
