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

As Bangkok transitions from January to February, the average high-temperatures adjust to a still tropical 33.3°C (91.9°F), nearly the same as the previous 32.5°C (90.5°F). During February, Bangkok records a consistent average nighttime temperature of 24.4°C (75.9°F).

Heat index

During February, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Humidity

Ensure every key safety measure. People with light skin might sustain burns in fewer than 5 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit. Even on a cloudy day, sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 should be used liberally and reapplied often, especially after a swim or outdoor activity. Attention! UV strength is notably upped by the reflection of sand and water.
