Weather in February
Temperature
The average high-temperature during February registers at a moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F), closely corresponding to the preceding month. Kathu encounters a steady low-temperature average of 19.9°C (67.8°F) throughout the month of February.Heat index
February's heat index is evaluated at a hot 30°C (86°F). Uninterrupted activity during exposure could lead to a sense of exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. 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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
