Our guide to the weather in Bangkok during February
Bangkok is a vibrant city full of culture and history, offering plenty of unique experiences for visitors. February is a great time to visit, with warm weather and festivals taking place throughout the month. We've looked at the most up-to-date weather data for Bangkok, covering the last 12 years up to 2024, plus we've asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about Bangkok weather in February.
What's the weather like in Bangkok during February?
You'll often read that January and February are peak months to visit Thailand since they coincide with the dry season. This is true, but bear in mind that Bangkok is almost always very hot and very humid. We didn't see any rain during our trip (thanks to the dry season) but we were soaked through with sweat every day.

What should I pack for a holiday in Bangkok during February?
Light clothing is essential. While the locals might wear jeans and trousers, most Westerners will want to wear shorts and cotton t-shirts or shirts. The humidity makes it very uncomfortable to wear much more. Rain shouldn't be a problem in February

How hot is it in Bangkok during February?
Expect heat in Bangkok during February. The temperature hits about 34℃ during the day, falling away to a balmy 26℃ at night. The UV index will be very high at this time of year, so you'll need to protect your eyes and skin. Avoid sun exposure between 10am and 4pm where possible. If outdoors, find shade, wear sun-protective clothing, wear UV-blocking sunglasses and generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every hour or so. Don't be fooled by cloudy skies! Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand will increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Bangkok during February?
On average, in February you'll see rain on just one day in the month. In other words, you shouldn't see any of the wet stuff. You're not likely to see a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Bangkok during February?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in February. With moderate humidity, any breeze will have a very welcome cooling effect.
How warm is the sea in Bangkok during February?
The water around Bangkok reaches a very pleasant 28℃ during February. This is very warm, and will feel bath-like. People who normally feel the cold will find this temperature perfectly acceptable. The hot air temperature will mean that you will feel comfortably warm when coming out of the water.
