February is another month of rising temperatures in Can Tho leading to higher evaporation rates. However, this month sees a sharp decrease in rainfall with an average of only 4mm (0.16"). A major characteristic of weather in February is an increase in sunshine duration to 9.1 hours, marking the longest average daylight duration of the year. The wind speed also experiences an increase, a phenomenon characteristic of the trade winds. However, the UV index remains at 7, indicating consistent sun intensity.

Temperature

February's advent presents an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.5°C (92.3°F), indicating a slight variation from the conditions of the previous month. Can Tho, during the month of February, experiences an average low-temperature of 22.7°C (72.9°F).

Heat index

The heat index for February is appraised at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Note: In February, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses. Stay cautious! Sand and water reflections increase UV radiation potency.
