Weather in February
Temperature
The unfolding of February shows an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.1°C (82.6°F), indicating a slight variance from January's 28.3°C (82.9°F). Throughout February nights, Swellendam reports a steady thermal contrast from the day, with an average low-temperature of 16.1°C (61°F).Heat index
February's mean heat index is evaluated at 29°C (84.2°F). If one sustains activity during exposure, it could lead to a sense of fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. 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. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
