Weather in February
Temperature
February is marked by an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.9°C (87.6°F), almost identical to the preceding month. During February, an average low-temperature of 23.5°C (74.3°F) is observed.Heat index
In February, the average heat index is appraised at a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. 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. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
