Prachuap Khiri Khan's weather in August undergoes a small dip in rainfall amount but doesn’t mirror this in terms of rainy days which is on par with
July. Hence, this month brings a decreased daytime warmth and keeps the climate humid with frequent showers, providing relief from the continuous months of rising temperature. Despite the high frequency of rain showers, the area continues to witness more than half a day of sunlight, making August amenable for those preferring a respite from the previous high temperatures.
Temperature
August's presence records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.1°C (89.8°F), closely mirroring July's climate. Throughout August, the nighttime temperature averages to a moderately hot 25°C (77°F).
Heat index

Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
