As with much of Southeast Asia,
April is the warmest month in
Chaiyaphum, a zenith reached with an average high of 36.4°C (97.5°F). Although not the wettest, rainfall increases significantly; it nearly doubles from what was observed in

Temperature
April, known for its average high temperature of 36.4°C (97.5°F) and an average low temperature of 24.9°C (76.8°F), is the warmest month in Chaiyaphum.
Heat index
The average heat index in April is appraised at a life-threatening hot 52°C (125.6°F).
Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in April is 64%.
