Chumphon experiences a considerable dampness in the atmosphere during
June, coupled with steadily high temperatures. It's a month when rains continue to keep the city wet, but with a reduced intensity from
May's peak rainfalls. The city shines under the longest daylight duration of the year, stretching for up to 12.7 hours. This ensures abundant bright hours for residents and tourists to relish all that the city has to offer. The rainfall still pours on 20 days on average, a persistence that adds intrigue to an otherwise predictable climate.
Temperature
The shift into June uncovers an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.3°C (90.1°F), subtly different from the previous month. Chumphon records an average low-temperature of 24.6°C (76.3°F) throughout the month of June.
Heat index
In June, the average heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F).
Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
Humidity
In June, the average relative humidity is 81%.
