With average daytime highs around 33°C, nine hours of sunshine, and only one or two rain days in the entire month, February offers the ideal balance between warmth and comfort. The air is less humid than in the approaching hot season (March–May), and the evenings cool just enough to make outdoor dining and night market exploration genuinely pleasant. Here is everything you need to know about Bangkok's weather this week.
Temperature range: 23°C (night) to 33°C (day)
Sunshine: 9 hours per day
Rain probability: Less than 10%
Humidity: 65–75%
UV index: Very high (9–10)
Air quality: Moderate — occasional haze possible
Wind: Light, 5–10 km/h
Day-by-Day Forecast: February 8–14, 2026
Sunday, February 8 — Hot and Sunny
Clear skies and strong sunshine define the day. Temperatures rise from 24°C at dawn to 33°C by early afternoon. Humidity is around 65%, which is low by Bangkok standards and makes the heat feel manageable. UV levels are very high — seek shade during the peak hours of 11 AM to 2 PM. A perfect day for visiting the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha) in the morning, followed by a long lunch and a Chao Phraya River boat trip in the cooler late afternoon.
Monday, February 9 — Sunny, Warm
Another dry, sunny day with a high of 32°C. The Lantern Festival celebrations may still be adding colour and energy to riverside areas. Light breeze from the south provides minor relief from the afternoon heat. This is an excellent day for Chatuchak Weekend Market (which extends into Monday at some sections) or the Jim Thompson House — a beautifully preserved traditional Thai residence and museum set in a lush tropical garden that provides welcome shade.
Tuesday, February 10 — Hot, Hazy
Temperatures reach 33°C under mostly clear skies. Some morning haze is possible — February is the period when air quality in Bangkok can deteriorate due to crop burning in surrounding agricultural regions and urban traffic emissions. The PM2.5 levels may be elevated, particularly in the morning hours. If you are sensitive to air quality, consider indoor activities before noon: the Bangkok National Museum, MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art), or the spectacular Erawan Museum. The haze typically thins by afternoon.
Wednesday, February 11 — Sunny, Hot
Clear skies and 33°C. Humidity edges up to 70% but remains comfortable for the season. This is ideal weather for a day trip to the floating markets — Damnoen Saduak (60 km from central Bangkok) or the more authentic Amphawa Floating Market (90 km, open weekends and some weekdays). Both are best visited in the morning when the activity and the temperature are both at their most manageable. Return to the city for a rooftop bar sunset — Sky Bar at Lebua (of "Hangover II" fame) or Octave Rooftop at the Marriott Sukhumvit offer panoramic views.
Thursday, February 12 — Continued Warm and Dry
High of 34°C — the warmest day of the week. No rain. Humidity at 68%. The heat peaks between 1 PM and 3 PM; plan indoor activities for this window. Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) is best visited in the morning light or at sunset when the porcelain-decorated spires glow spectacularly. The air-conditioned mega-malls — Siam Paragon, CentralWorld, Icon Siam — provide cool retreats and world-class shopping. Thai massage is a wonderful way to spend the hottest hours: traditional establishments along Khao San Road and in Silom charge as little as 300 baht for an hour-long session.
Friday, February 13 — Hot, Slight Cloud
Some high cloud provides occasional relief from direct sun, though temperatures still reach 33°C. Humidity at 70%. The cloud produces dramatic warm-toned light that photographers will love. Friday night is the peak of Bangkok's legendary nightlife: the night markets at Jodd Fairs or Rod Fai Market are packed with food stalls, vintage shops, and live music. Yaowarat Road (Chinatown) comes alive with street food vendors — this is widely regarded as one of the greatest street food destinations in the world.
Saturday, February 14 — Valentine's Day: Warm, Sunny
Valentine's Day in Bangkok is celebrated with enthusiasm. Temperatures reach 33°C under mostly clear skies. The city's restaurants and rooftop bars will be offering special menus and experiences. A romantic option is a private dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River, passing illuminated temples and the Grand Palace. For something uniquely Thai, many temples host merit-making ceremonies on Valentine's Day where couples receive blessings together — a beautiful cultural twist on the Western holiday.

What to Wear and Pack
Bangkok in February is hot, so dress accordingly. Light, breathable fabrics — cotton and linen — in loose-fitting styles are most comfortable. Quick-dry clothing is practical given the warmth. Comfortable walking shoes or sandals are essential, as you will be on your feet a great deal exploring temples, markets, and neighbourhoods. Flip-flops are useful for temple visits where you must remove shoes before entering.
Sun protection is non-negotiable. The UV index reaches 9–10, which is in the "very high" category. Apply SPF 50 liberally and reapply every two hours, especially if you are sweating. A wide-brimmed hat and quality sunglasses are highly recommended. Carry a small water bottle and refill frequently — dehydration creeps up fast in this climate.
For temple visits, a dress code applies: cover shoulders and knees. Both men and women should bring at least one modest outfit. Many temples rent sarongs at the entrance, but it is easier to have your own. A lightweight long-sleeved shirt and loose trousers serve double duty as temple-appropriate clothing and sun protection.
Bangkok Food Guide for This Week
Bangkok's street food is the stuff of legend, and February's dry weather means the outdoor food stalls and night markets operate at full capacity. Must-try dishes include pad thai (of course, but try it at Thipsamai on Mahachai Road for the definitive version), som tum (green papaya salad, adjust the chilli level to your tolerance), mango sticky rice (peak mango season begins in late February), and boat noodles at Victory Monument. For a more immersive experience, join a guided food tour through Chinatown's Yaowarat Road, where vendors serve charcoal-grilled seafood, roast duck, and endless varieties of noodle soup from sundown until late into the night.
Bangkok also has a thriving fine-dining scene. Gaggan Anand (regularly listed among Asia's best restaurants) offers a progressive Indian tasting menu that is unlike anything else in the world. Sorn serves southern Thai cuisine elevated to art. And Jay Fai, the legendary street food chef who earned a Michelin star while cooking from a roadside stall in her trademark ski goggles, continues to serve her famous crab omelettes — arrive early, as the queue starts before she opens.
Getting Around Bangkok
Bangkok's traffic is legendary for all the wrong reasons, but the city's public transport options have improved dramatically. The BTS Skytrain and MRT metro cover the main commercial and tourist areas efficiently. The Chao Phraya Express Boat runs along the river, connecting major temples, markets, and the Grand Palace area. Taxis are metered and very affordable. Grab (Southeast Asia's equivalent of Uber) is widely used and reliable. Tuk-tuks are iconic but negotiate the fare before departure — they are best treated as a cultural experience rather than efficient transport. For longer trips, the Airport Rail Link connects Suvarnabhumi Airport to the city centre in about 30 minutes.
