The last month of the summer,
August, is another tropical month in
Lamphun,
Thailand, with an average temperature ranging between min 23.8°C (74.8°F) and max 32.4°C (90.3°F).
Temperature
Lamphun experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a still hot 32.4°C (90.3°F) with the onset of August, maintaining near parity with
July's 32.8°C (91°F). Lamphun's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 23.8°C (74.8°F) during the nights of August.
Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F).
Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
