February weather forecast
Melilas, Brunei

An affirmation of a slight shift in weather patterns, February shows indications of a drier month, as compared to January, highlighted by a decrease in rainfall to 126mm (4.96"). A slight increase in temperature is noticeable, but not significant enough to cause discomfort. The time under the sun extends slightly this month, though cloud cover stays almost identical. The wind also strengthens slightly, making open spaces rather more enjoyable. February, in conclusion, unfolds as a month of subtle transitions.

Temperature

The transition into February shows a subtle variation to a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F) from January's 30.8°C (87.4°F) in the average high-temperature. During the February nights, an average temperature of 22.5°C (72.5°F) is observed.

Heat index

For most parts of February, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Note: In February, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. 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. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
