February weather forecast
Liberia, Costa Rica

In terms of temperature, February experiences a slight increase with minimal changes to the weather in Liberia. Most days of this month bask in sunshine, almost rivaling January, and rainfall also considerably lessens. A decrease in relative humidity, less than that of January, contributes to an overall warm and comfortable climate. The pressure mildly drops to 1011mb from January's 1011.3mb. Wind is a little stronger, with maximum velocity escalating to 22.5km/h (14mph) from 21.5km/h (13.4mph) experienced in January.

Temperature

The advent of February presents an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.3°C (90.1°F), maintaining a close correlation with the preceding month. Liberia observes an average nighttime temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F) during February.

Heat index

The heat index in February is estimated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

In Liberia, the average relative humidity in February is 66%.

Rainfall

In Liberia, during February, the rain falls for 2 days and regularly aggregates up to 2mm (0.08") of precipitation. In Liberia, during the entire year, the rain falls for 188.5 days and collects up to 1202mm (47.32") of precipitation.

Sunshine

In February, the average sunshine is 8.1h.

UV index

January through October and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Liberia. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during February translates into these guidelines:
Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
