February, the last month of the winter in
Lamphun, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between min 15.7°C (60.3°F) and max 33.8°C (92.8°F).
Temperature
The arrival of February marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.8°C (92.8°F) from
January's 30.8°C (87.4°F). Lamphun registers a significant reduction from the day's heat, with an average temperature drop to a mild 15.7°C (60.3°F) in February.
Heat index
The average heat index in February is calculated to be an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. 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 59%.
