Weather in August

In line with the ongoing wet season, Ranong's weather in August reaches its rainiest point with average rainfall inching up to a considerable 789mm (31.06"). August is undeniably the rainiest month of the year. As the daylight hours contract slightly, temperatures, too, start to dip a fraction.

Heat index

The heat index for August is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. 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', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
