February weather forecast
Laos

February in Laos signals the gradual transition from winter's cool, dry conditions to the warmer period of the year. As the second month of the year, February experiences a slight increase in average temperatures compared to January, though it remains on the cooler end of the spectrum for Laos' tropical climate.

In Vientiane, Laos' capital situated in the center-south, the month of February sees daytime temperatures starting to climb, reaching around 30°C (86°F). This rise in temperature is more pronounced in Vientiane than in the mountainous regions of the country due to its low-lying position in the plains near the Mekong River.

Moving north to the region around Luang Prabang, the temperatures also start to increase in February. The mountainous area experiences daytime highs of approximately 25°C (77°F), but it can still be quite chilly during the night, particularly at higher altitudes.

Compared to the preceding month of January, February is slightly warmer and gets progressively hotter towards the end of the month. The rainfall remains low, similar to January, as the dry season in Laos continues through February. The duration of sunshine remains relatively constant from January, with an average of 8 to 9 hours a day, depending on the region.

While February does not hold any extreme weather records in Laos, it does mark the onset of the hot season that begins in earnest from March. As such, it is the last month of relatively cool weather before the intense tropical heat sets in. Despite the gradual rise in temperature, February continues to provide pleasant conditions for travel and outdoor activities, particularly in the highland areas.
