Yimas's nocturnal readings in February exhibit minimal variation from the daytime temperatures, averaging at a still moderately hot 24.9°C (76.8°F).

Heat index

Throughout February, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

The average relative humidity in February in Yimas is 81%.

UV index

February, April through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 during February translates into the following directions:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
