February weather forecast
Anjajavy, Madagascar

Much akin to January, February in Anjajavy continues to display the wet season's traits. A reduction in rainfall is evident, yet the weather holds a largely damp character. It retains the overall warm temperature from the previous month, leaning slightly towards an added warmth by a negligible margin. Even with a decrease, the humidity doesn't falter much, perpetuating the tropical moisture of the air. The sea temperature also remains consistent, inviting for marine excursions.

Temperature

The ushering in of February brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.7°C (85.5°F), closely mirroring the 29.4°C (84.9°F) of January. In February, Anjajavy encounters an average low-temperature of 24.3°C (75.7°F) during the night.

Heat index

The heat index value during February is evaluated at a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are February and March, with an average relative humidity of 82%.

Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during February, leads to the following recommendations:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays. Attention! UV strength is notably upped by the reflection of sand and water.
