Temperature

The arrival of February sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.2°C (88.2°F), hardly diverging from January's 30.2°C (86.4°F). Throughout the February nights, Maturin encounters a low-temperature of 20.3°C (68.5°F).

Heat index

In February, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during February translates into the following recommendations:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
