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.

Chumphon notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.2°C (88.2°F) in October, hardly diverging from September. Throughout the month of October, Chumphon reports a steady low-temperature average of 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Heat index

For most parts of October, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
