February weather forecast
Pedasi, Panama

February follows in the footsteps of January, with similar weather patterns and little change in temperature. This month witnesses a slightly less rainfall compared to January, with 6mm (0.24") of precipitation. This decrease in showers ensures fewer interruptions during sightseeing, promoting continual outdoor activities. Pedasi, therefore, continues to allure tourists with its consistent weather. February closes with a seamless transition to the hotter months, thus, setting the stage for March's arrival.

Temperature

As January transitions into February, the average high-temperature rests at a still hot 31.1°C (88°F), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. Pedasi witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F) throughout February.

Heat index

The heat index value during February is computed to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Humidity

In February, the average relative humidity is 74%.

Rainfall

The month with the least rainfall is February, when the rain falls for 5.5 days and typically collects 6mm (0.24") of precipitation.

Sea temperature

January through April, with an average sea temperature of 27°C (80.6°F), are months with the coldest seawater.
Note: Water temperatures between 25°C (77°F) and 29°C (84.2°F) are ideal for all water activities, offering enjoyment without causing discomfort over extended periods.

Daylight

In February, the average length of the day is 11h and 53min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 06:39 and sunset at 18:27. On the last day of February, sunrise is at 06:33 and sunset at 18:31 EST.

Sunshine

The months with the most sunshine are January and February, with an average of 9.5h of sunshine.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through September, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 7 during February translates into the following directions:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat. Caution! Sand and water surfaces escalate the UV intensity from the Sun.
