In the throes of the monsoon,
August presents as one of the wettest months of the year in
Lampang,
Thailand. A combined factor of atmospheric humidity remaining at high levels and the volume of rain increasing to 186mm (7.32") over 18 days contributes to the higher-than-usual precipitation. Despite these weather conditions, temperatures maintain a steady degree from
July to August ensuring a healthy balance and mitigating extreme weather patterns. Daylight hours contract marginally from the peak in
May and
June but remains relatively stable.
Temperature
Lampang's average high-temperature in August is a still tropical 33°C (91.4°F), marking an insignificant difference from the 33.3°C (91.9°F) of July. Throughout the month of August, Lampang observes an average nighttime temperature of 23.9°C (75°F).
Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 49°C (120.2°F).
Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
