Weather in February
Temperature
The arrival of February marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.3°C (88.3°F) from January's 31.4°C (88.5°F). During February, the temperature is averaged to a low of 24.2°C (75.6°F) at night.Heat index
The average heat index in February is estimated at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
