Weather in February
Temperature
The initiation of February sees an average high-temperature of a hot 30.7°C (87.3°F), showing minor variations from the previous month. During the month of February, the temperature generally drops to a low average of 18.9°C (66°F).Heat index
The heat index in February is evaluated at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
