February weather forecast
Juigalpa, Nicaragua

February continues with January's weather pattern, holding almost identical conditions. With a minimal increase in temperature, the atmospheric conditions remain pleasant and inviting. Beginning from February, the binannual rainfall decline is observed, with the month recording a slightly less precipitation of 8mm (0.31") over roughly 11.8 days.

Temperature

Juigalpa measures an average high-temperature of a hot 30.7°C (87.3°F) in February, nearly consistent with the preceding month. An average nighttime temperature of 21.2°C (70.2°F) is witnessed throughout February.

Heat index

February's average heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
