February weather forecast
Bến Cát, Vietnam

As moving into February, Bến Cát starts to experience rising temperatures. A substantial amount of sunshine contributes to this warming trend no less than 8.6h per day, which is the second-largest in the year. It is still relatively dry in February, therefore, the period is deemed suitable for outdoor activities. Gradually, the weather commences its shift towards the more humid season that characterizes March and the following months.

Temperature

Bến Cát's February showcases an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.8°C (92.8°F), hardly distinct from January's 31.9°C (89.4°F). Throughout February, an average low-temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F) is expected.

Heat index

The heat index value for February is computed to be a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Humidity

February and March, with an average relative humidity of 61%, are the least humid months.

Rainfall

February is the month with the least rainfall. Rain falls for 5.1 days and accumulates 10mm (0.39") of precipitation.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: The UV index of 7 in February translates into these instructions:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
