February weather forecast
Caloocan, Philippines

With the advent of February, Caloocan welcomes less rain coupled with a slight rise in temperature. Compared to January, the city experiences a slight decrease in rainfall to 3mm (0.12") over fewer days. Increasing daylight hours and a notably higher sun exposure enrich outdoor experiences during this month.

In contrast to the following month, February retains much of its clear visibility, making it one of the clearest times to experience Caloocan's sights and sounds.

Temperature

On the advent of February, Caloocan's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F) from January's 28.3°C (82.9°F). Nighttime temperatures in February average to a still moderately hot 23°C (73.4°F) in Caloocan.

Heat index

February's mean heat index is appraised at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
