Gradual shift towards higher temperatures starts to occur in
February in
Chaiyaphum. The increased temperature certainly brings with it a slight rise in the warmth compared to
January. However, the rainfall remains on the lower side with occasional light showers. Longer daylight hours than the previous month are a welcome change, allowing for extended explorations. The relative humidity continues its measured rise, though it stays within the comfort range for most individuals.
Temperature
Chaiyaphum starts February with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.6°C (92.5°F), hinting at a minimal fluctuation from January. Nightly readings in February display a noticeable downturn from daily highs, with the average low-temperature registering an agreeable 20.9°C (69.6°F).
Heat index
In February, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
Humidity
In February, the average relative humidity is 60%.
