Weather in February

Switching over to February, Port Moresby continues to embrace the monsoon climate as showers persist, although they slightly decrease from January. Despite the city experiencing nearly equivalent high and low temperatures with the previous month, the sea slightly cools down to 29.4°C (84.9°F). Sunshine hours recede a bit, presenting an ideal time for indoor activities and adventures. The calm breeze that courses through the city complements the formula of a perfect tropical haven.

Temperature

February's onset sees an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.6°C (85.3°F), exhibiting a slight fluctuation from the previous month. During the month of February, the temperature generally drops to a low average of 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Heat index

Throughout February, the heat index is appraised at a torrid 35°C (95°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
