Weather in February
Temperature
The shift from January to February is characterized by an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.6°C (87.1°F), not significantly different from the 29.3°C (84.7°F) of January. Kalpitiya experiences a mean temperature of 23.2°C (73.8°F) during February nights.Heat index
For most parts of February, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
