Temperature

February, with its average high-temperature of 28.9°C (84°F) and an average low-temperature of 19.8°C (67.6°F), holds the record as the coldest month.

Heat index

The average heat index in February is computed to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
