Moving through the year,
February in
Ranong showcases the last traces of dry weather, with slight increments in humidity and rainfall. The average rainfall jumps to 16mm (0.63"), suggesting scant rainfall when compared to the deluge to follow in the subsequent months. Aside from these subtle shifts in weather parameters, February stays in line with
January, exhibiting consistency in temperature and weather conditions. Tourists and locals alike can expect steady, warm days and slightly cool nights. As the month ends, the approach of moisture-riddled
March makes itself known, subtly preparing Ranong for the wet season.
Temperature
With the transition into February, Ranong notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 34.1°C (93.4°F), closely resembling January. In February, the nighttime temperature in Ranong lowers to an average of 22.2°C (72°F).
Heat index
For February, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F).
Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
