Temperature

February's weather displays an average high-temperature of a tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F), slightly varied from January's 29.9°C (85.8°F). Throughout February, the nighttime temperature in Hua Hin averages to a warm 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Heat index

The heat index for February is computed to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human 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. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Take all required precautions, as unprotected skin and eyes can burn in minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage. Prompt application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen, SPF 30+, is necessary after a swim or an outdoor workout and it should be re-applied every two hours. Be mindful! Sand and water reflections can up the Sun's UV exposure.
