The last month of the winter, February, is a tropical month in Duaca, Venezuela, with an average temperature fluctuating between 18.4°C (65.1°F) and 30°C (86°F).

Temperature

February is marked by an average high-temperature of a tropical 30°C (86°F), almost identical to the preceding month. Duaca, in February, experiences an average temperature of 18.4°C (65.1°F) at night.

Heat index

February's heat index is estimated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Humidity

February and March, with an average relative humidity of 70%, are the least humid months.

Rainfall

February is the month with the least rainfall. Rain falls for 5.4 days and accumulates 7mm (0.28") of precipitation.

Sunshine

February has the most sunshine of the year, with an average of 9.5h of sunshine.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: The UV index of 6 in February translates into these instructions:
Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
