February weather forecast
Bangkok, Thailand

Following January, February in Bangkok, Thailand is characterized by radiant sunlight, accompanied by a rise in warmth, rendering this period increasingly appealing for sun-worshippers. Februray spectate a dramatic escalation in UV index to 12, the highest annual value, indicating strong sunlight intensity. The city, however, brims with life as the duration of daylight extends to 11.7 hours, allowing for longer exploratory pursuits. Although still being part of the dry season, the month experiences light precipitation, preparing for the impending monsoon season. With falling relative humidity and sea temperatures on a slow incline, the city transitions gradually into the warmer March.

Temperature

In February, the average high-temperature in Bangkok registers at a still tropical 33.3°C (91.9°F), nearly identical to January's 32.5°C (90.5°F). During February, Bangkok witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 24.4°C (75.9°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in February is calculated to be a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Humidity

In Bangkok, Thailand, the average relative humidity in February is 72%.

Carry out every crucial safety measure. People with fair skin may sustain burns in fewer than 5 minutes. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation. Despite the overcast weather, sunscreen with SPF of at least 30 should be applied liberally and reapplied often, particularly after swimming or an outdoor workout. Take warning! Reflective sand and water surfaces intensify the Sun's UV rays.
