October weather forecast
Chumphon, Thailand

October’s weather in Chumphon sees another uptick in rainfall, defying the tapering off that begins in September. With a sizable 252mm (9.92") of rain dispersed over 20 soaking days, the city gets saturated thoroughly. A cautious decrease in daily temperature and an increase in relative humidity paint a picture of cool, wet days. October acts as a climatic buffer, easing the shift from the rainy season to the relatively drier following months.

Temperature

Chumphon experiences an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.2°C (88.2°F) in October, marking an insignificant shift from 31.6°C (88.9°F) in September. An average low-temperature of 23.7°C (74.7°F) marks the nights in Chumphon throughout October.

Heat index

October's heat index is estimated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital 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.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
