February weather forecast
Saul, French Guiana

February continues on the same weather path as January, though with rainfall slightly decreasing. However, it should be noted that February experiences almost the highest humidity in Saul, marked at 88%. The sun seems to be a bit shyer this month, providing less sunshine hours compared to January. Notwithstanding the slightly unfavourable thermic circumstances for the sun's rays, Saul's weather retains a defined character marked by consistent rain and relative warmth. The changes afoot become more distinct and definitive as March approaches.

Temperature

Saul's coldest month, February, registers temperatures that range from a high of 29.3°C (84.7°F) to a low of 21.2°C (70.2°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in February is computed to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Humidity

In Saul, the average relative humidity in February is 88%.

UV index

In February, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 in February interprets into the following recommendations:
Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
