Moving into
February, the weather continues to heat up in
Chanthaburi, with humidity levels rising simultaneously. Conditions are pleasant, but the city starts to see an increase in rainfall, signaling the onset of the wet season. February experiences double the days with rainfall compared to
January, with four days of precipitation on average. This month is identified as having notable rainfall of 36mm (1.42"), almost double the amount of the preceding month. With longer daylight hours, the ample sunshine makes the occasional rainfall manageable.
Temperature
The average high-temperature in Chanthaburi during February registers at a still hot 32.7°C (90.9°F), closely corresponding to the preceding month. During the nights in February, Chanthaburi observes an average low-temperature of 23°C (73.4°F).
Heat index

Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important 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.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
