February advances with a gradual increase in both sea and air temperatures. There is a noticeable rise in humidity as tropical characteristics begin to manifest. It is observed that February receives slightly more rainfall, with an estimated rainfall recorded at 37mm (1.46"), when compared to
January. This does not however significantly impact the number of desirable outdoor hours during the day.
Temperature
During February, the average high-temperature in
Rayong is a still tropical 32.5°C (90.5°F), maintaining a close resemblance to that of the preceding month. The average low-temperature of 24.5°C (76.1°F) is witnessed during February.
Heat index
Throughout February, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F).
Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. 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 extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
