January weather forecast
Satun, Thailand

Kick-starting the year, weather patterns in Satun, Thailand witness a slight hike in temperature from the preceding month of December. However, the shift is fairly subtle, owing to the tropical monsoon climate prevalent in this region. January holds the distinction of being one of the drier months, not experiencing copious rain showers typical of the area. Lighter rainfall, paired with a relatively high humidity of 70%, contributes to a damp yet warm environment. Compiling all variables, the weather sphere in January in Satun stretches from a low of 23.4°C (74.1°F) to a peak of 32.7°C (90.9°F) with a moderately dry spell quantified at 21mm (0.83") of rainfall.

Heat index

During January, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
