August, the last month of the summer in
Lom Sak District, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 24.1°C (75.4°F) and 31.9°C (89.4°F).
Temperature
As August takes hold, the average high-temperature is a still hot 31.9°C (89.4°F), nearly mirroring that of the previous month. The average temperature during August nights dips to a warm 24.1°C (75.4°F).
Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 45°C (113°F).
Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

The months with the highest humidity are August and
September, with an average relative humidity of 83%.
Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 20 days and accumulates 198mm (7.8") of precipitation.
