September surpasses other months concerning rainfall in
Kamphaeng Phet,
Thailand, with a record 269mm (10.59") of rainfall. The month sits right in the crosshair of the monsoon, receiving the maximum rainfall over an average of 18 days. Despite the increased rainfall, the temperatures persist on the higher scale creating a humid environment. The increased cloud cover, however, slightly cuts down on daily sunlight hours. Overall, the month requires careful planning for outdoor activities due to the likelihood of showers.
Temperature
A minor adjustment in Kamphaeng Phet's average high-temperature is noted with the start of September, touching a still tropical 32.7°C (90.9°F) from
August's 32.6°C (90.7°F). September sees the temperature falling to a mean low of 24.4°C (75.9°F).
Heat index
For most parts of September, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 49°C (120.2°F).
Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
