Weather in February
Temperature
The onset of February marks an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F), hardly differing from January's 29.2°C (84.6°F). February is noted for a mean low-temperature of 24.3°C (75.7°F).Heat index
February's average heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
Humidity
February and March, with an average relative humidity of 77%, are the least humid months.Rainfall
In February, the rain falls for 16.3 days. Throughout February, 50mm (1.97") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 286.9 rainfall days, and 1974mm (77.72") of precipitation is accumulated.Daylight

Sunshine
In February, the average sunshine is 9h.UV index
January through April, June through August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: An average UV index of 7 in February transforms into this advice:
Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
