Weather in February
Temperature
In February, the average high-temperature registers at a hot 30.7°C (87.3°F), nearly identical to January's 29.3°C (84.7°F). During February, the average low-temperature is an enjoyable 18.9°C (66°F).Heat index
For February, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
