August, the last month of the summer in
Phrae, is another hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 24.3°C (75.7°F) and 32.3°C (90.1°F).
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.3°C (90.1°F), nearly identical to
July's 32.6°C (90.7°F). During August, the average low-temperature is a warm 24.3°C (75.7°F).
Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F).
Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in August is 83%.
Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall in Phrae is August, when the rain falls for 20 days and typically aggregates up to 206mm (8.11") of precipitation.
