September, in
Ko Sichang, is distinguished as the month with the highest rainfall, magnifying considerably from
August to a remarkable 269mm (10.59") across 18 days. This increase in rainfall contributes to the high relative humidity in September. Even with the high rainfall, temperatures remain relatively consistent with the previous months, facilitating lush vegetative growth. The close of September signals a shift to drier conditions as
October approaches.
Temperature
The average high-temperature in Ko Sichang during September is a still hot 30.9°C (87.6°F), almost matching the conditions of the preceding month. Throughout September, Ko Sichang's nights cool down to an average of 25.1°C (77.2°F).
Heat index
September's average heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
