February weather forecast
Beira, Mozambique

In February, the weather in Beira does not change dramatically from January. The warmth from the prior month is maintained, as the city experiences the same amount of sunlight and temperature highs. This climatic stability gives the city's ecosystem an opportunity to thrive and establishes an intrinsic rhythm. However, rainfall decreases to 117mm (4.61"), marking a distinctive transition between the two months. As February comes to a close, the city gears up for a small decrease in temperatures and a noteworthy increase in rainfall in the approaching month of March.

Heat index

The heat index value during February is computed to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating 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. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

UV index

January through March, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: In February, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes. Be vigilant! The Sun's UV rays get a boost from sand and water reflections.
