What February actually feels like

  • Often the driest month. Skies can stay fair for days while the rain belt sits over Java.
  • Northeast winds are still strong. Coastal north and east feel it more than inland towns.
  • UV is high on the clear days. The heat stress page matters even when it is not the hottest month.
