The commencement of February notes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F), exhibiting little difference from the previous month. During the nights in February, Mariblo experiences a consistent average temperature of 23°C (73.4°F).

Heat index

Throughout February, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in February is 74%.

Rainfall

The month with the least rainfall is February, when the rain falls for 7 days and typically collects 11mm (0.43") of precipitation.

UV index

February through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Mariblo. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: A daily maximum UV index of 7 in February translates into the following instructions:
Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
