Temperature

The beginning of February records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 34.3°C (93.7°F), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. Quelepa records a consistent low-temperature average of 21°C (69.8°F) during February, indicating a significant difference from the daytime heat.

Heat index

Throughout February, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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 human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded.

Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
