Weather in February
Temperature
The average high-temperature in February, at a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F), reveals a modest deviation from January's 29.2°C (84.6°F). Nighttime temperature experiences an average drop to a still warm 24.3°C (75.7°F) in February.Heat index
For most parts of February, the heat index is appraised at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: In February, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
