Temperature
Nong Khai's transition from
January to February introduces an average high-temperature of a hot 32.1°C (89.8°F), marking an insignificant variation from the 29.7°C (85.5°F). February nights in Nong Khai bring a significant cooling from the heat of the day, with averages of 19.1°C (66.4°F).
Heat index
The average heat index in February is computed to be a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to 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.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Enforce all necessary precautions, unprotected skin might burn swiftly. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat. Post an outdoor workout or swimming, a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen should be applied generously and frequently.
