Weather in February
Temperature
Handaganawa observes a minor difference in average high-temperatures between January's 28.3°C (82.9°F) and February's 29.7°C (85.5°F). The low-temperature averages to an enjoyable 18.1°C (64.6°F) during the nights of February.Heat index
February's heat index is appraised at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
