In
Lampang,
Thailand,
April ushers in the heat. The highest temperature surge of the year takes place now, reaching up to 38.3°C (100.9°F). Consequently, this heat inflates evaporation rates leading to higher levels of precipitation. The dry spell of the preceding months begins to make way for the upcoming monsoon. Duration of daylight also reaches its zenith, putting longer days on the horizon.
Temperature
Lampang experiences its highest temperatures in April, with an average peak of 38.3°C (100.9°F) and a low of 23.4°C (74.1°F).
Heat index
The heat index value for April is calculated to be a burning hot 56°C (132.8°F).
Warning: These weather conditions are held as exceedingly treacherous, as heatstroke is a clear threat.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. 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. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
