Weather in February
Temperature
February's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F), slightly deviating from January's 29.2°C (84.6°F). An average nighttime temperature of 24.3°C (75.7°F) is noted during the month of February.Heat index
The average heat index in February is evaluated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
