August weather forecast
Satun, Thailand

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

The heat index in August is evaluated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
