February in
Lampang,
Thailand, carries forward the relatively dry spell from
January but tends to be a tad warmer. The increase in temperature comes hand in hand with a dwindling humidity scale, creating relatively comfortable conditions. There’s a mild uptick in rainfall, albeit nothing to reach for the umbrellas yet. As February is considered a tail end of the winter season, daylight hours start to expand; Sunsets are marginally later than in January.
Temperature
February in Lampang observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 34.4°C (93.9°F), marking an insignificant difference from January's 31.6°C (88.9°F). Lampang's nighttime average of 16.6°C (61.9°F) during February reflects a substantial decrease from the daytime temperature.
Heat index
In February, the average heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F).
Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
