February weather forecast
Magbapsa, Sierra Leone

The last month of the winter, February, is also a fiery hot month in Magbapsa, Sierra Leone, with an average temperature fluctuating between 21°C (69.8°F) and 37.8°C (100°F).

Temperature

A minor adjustment in Magbapsa's average high-temperature is noted with the start of February, touching a still fiery hot 37.8°C (100°F) from January's 35.4°C (95.7°F). Magbapsa endures a clear shift from daytime heat to a mean low-temperature of 21°C (69.8°F) during February nights.

Heat index

The heat index in February is estimated at a burning hot 53°C (127.4°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

UV index

Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in February leads to these recommendations:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
