The temperature and humidity remain stable, staying faithful to the patterns followed during the previous months. Rain gods shower their bounty on the city quite frequently with rainfall clocking in at 208mm (8.19"), spread across 23 days.

Temperature

With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 31.6°C (88.9°F), subtly different from July's 31.9°C (89.4°F). Throughout August nights, Chumphon registers an average low-temperature of 24.3°C (75.7°F).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

In August, the average relative humidity is 82%.
