September often signals the nearing end of the monsoon period. Whilst high humidity levels persist, the average rainfall in this month reaches a yearly peak of 255mm (10.04"). This is the second highest rainfall in the year after
May. Even though rainfall is high, daily temperatures remain consistently high with no significant reductions.
Temperature
The lowest level of
Rayong's temperatures is noted during
January and September, averaging a high-temperature of 31.9°C (89.4°F).
Heat index
The average heat index in September is estimated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F).
Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
