February weather forecast
San-Pedro, Ivory Coast

Moving into February, San-Pedro sees a marginal increase in moisture, as evidenced by a spike in relative humidity and rainfall amounts. Temperatures remain steadily high, similar to that in January, providing a continuous batch of warm air over the city. As the Cream Coast city transitions into the wet season, there are noticeable changes in the atmospheric pressure and cloud cover. The increase in cloud cover correlates with a rise in the number of rainy days. Unlike January, there's a slight increment in wind speeds, possibly influenced by the rising atmospheric pressure.

Temperature

February commences with an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.8°C (87.4°F), showing little deviation from January's 30.9°C (87.6°F). During the nights in February, San-Pedro experiences a consistent average temperature of 25.3°C (77.5°F).

Heat index

The heat index for February is computed to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. 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.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in February is 79%.

Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during February translates into these guidelines:
Stick with precautions and abide by sun safety procedures. Evading sunburn is essential. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays. Be attentive! The UV exposure is heightened with reflections from sand and water.
