Even though the rainfall decreases, the temperature hikes up, making it an ideal time for sun-seekers to visit the city. Particularly, February exhibits the highest sea temperature, measured at 29.4°C (84.9°F) which makes it perfect for beach and water activities. The cultural and historical richness of Victoria, against the backdrop of the warm and sunny weather, adds a unique charm to the city during this month.

Heat index

February's average heat index is estimated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
