February weather forecast
Barcelona, Venezuela

As Barcelona transitions from January to February, slightly higher temperatures indicate the onset of early spring, offering respite from the chill of winter. The city embodies its spring spirit with outdoor festivals, making it an exciting time for cultural enthusiasts. Wind speed inches up a notch, providing much-needed respite from the increasing heat. Nevertheless, the humidity takes a dip from previous month's conditions, making the weather less oppressive. The prospect of rainfall decreases significantly to 8mm (0.31"), indicating drier conditions that favor sightseeing and outdoor activities.

Temperature

The shift from January to February is characterized by an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F), not significantly different from the 29.5°C (85.1°F) of January. Throughout February, Barcelona registers a consistent average low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

The heat index for February is estimated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in February is 72%.

Rainfall

The month with the least rainfall is February, when the rain falls for 7.3 days and typically collects 8mm (0.31") of precipitation.

Sea temperature

UV index

January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. The months with the lowest UV index in Barcelona are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: A maximum daily UV index of 7 during February morphs into the following directions:
Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear. Notice! The reflection of water and sand increases the UV radiation significantly.
