The last month of the winter,
February, is another tropical month in
Phrae,
Thailand, with temperature in the range of an average high of 33.7°C (92.7°F) and an average low of 17.6°C (63.7°F).
Temperature
Phrae commences February with an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.7°C (92.7°F), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. Phrae registers a significant reduction from the day's heat, with an average temperature drop to a refreshing 17.6°C (63.7°F) in February.
Heat index
During February, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 45°C (113°F).
Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
