The progressive narrative of 2020's weather sees a downward curve in
October, specifically concerning rainfall in
Satun. As the sun takes a gentler approach to heating, the temperature sees a further decrease while retaining high moisture levels due to the tapering monsoon season. This month witnesses a return to drier days, although the rainfall — while decreased — still holds significance. The penultimate month records a high of 31.5°C (88.7°F) and maintains a pronounced rain collection of 339mm (13.35"), both underlining the imminent end of the monsoon.
Temperature
With October's arrival, Satun,
Thailand, notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.5°C (88.7°F), closely following the trend of the preceding month. Throughout October, Satun anticipates an average low-temperature of 23.6°C (74.5°F).
Heat index
The heat index value for October is estimated at a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F).
Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
