February weather forecast
Vinh Long, Vietnam

Transitioning from January, weather conditions in February exhibit a gradual increase in temperatures. Increased thermal pressure manifests in the form of a wind speed that averages around 12.8km/h (8mph), a modest increase from the previous month. Adding to the pleasant atmospheric conditions, the reduced cloud cover facilitates extended hours of sunshine. Compared to its successor, March, February holds a drier profile with a unexpectedly low rainfall average only 2mm (0.08"). Thus, it ushers in a period of slowly rising temperatures and humidity.

Temperature

February welcomes an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.4°C (92.1°F), not much different from the preceding month. The temperature lowers to an average of 22.4°C (72.3°F) during February nights.

Heat index

During February, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Note: The UV index of 7 during February translates into the following guidance:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
