February, the last month of the winter in
Wichian Buri District, is another hot month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 20.9°C (69.6°F) and an average high of 34.8°C (94.6°F).
Temperature
The start of February marks an average high-temperature of a still hot 34.8°C (94.6°F), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in
January. The nighttime temperature during February exhibits a clear drop from daytime highs, settling at a pleasant 20.9°C (69.6°F).
Heat index
During February, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F).
On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
