The transition from
January to
February presents a gradual rise in the heat. It means that the
Prachuap Khiri Khan weather in February becomes slightly hotter without any significant increase in humidity. February also experiences a decrease in the rainfall to 22mm (0.87") thus reducing the wetness in the environment and allowing inhabitants to enjoy the outdoors more. At this time, the sun shines slightly longer, with daylight hours stretching to about 11.8 hours. Consequently, one should expect to experience an enjoyable February in Prachuap Khiri Khan.
Temperature
As Prachuap Khiri Khan welcomes February, the average high-temperature records at a still hot 31.6°C (88.9°F), marking an insignificant deviation from the prior month. Throughout the month of February, Prachuap Khiri Khan witnesses an average temperature of 21.7°C (71.1°F).
Heat index
For February, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
