Weather in August

Satun's weather in August mirrors July's conditions, with an additional surge in rainfall being the primary differentiator. Bearing the full brunt of the monsoon’s wet season, August becomes one formidable contestant of rainfall, just slightly trailing behind the rainfall champion, September. August persists in its endeavor to maintain warmth with fairly high temperatures. In August, the weather exhibits a peak rainfall of 259mm (10.2") while temperatures fluctuate from 23.8°C (74.8°F) to 31.8°C (89.2°F), contributing to the season's saturated conditions.

Heat index

When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. 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 'feels like' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 83%.
