Weather in February
Temperature
The beginning of February records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.5°C (85.1°F), marking a negligible difference from January's 28.4°C (83.1°F). Throughout February nights, Tanduvan experiences a consistent temperature average of 23.9°C (75°F).Heat index
For most parts of February, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Continue precautions and advocate sun safety advice. Deterrence of sunburn is indispensable. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
