July weather forecast
Surat Thani, Thailand

July in Surat Thani is characterized by an equilibrium of rainfall and warmth. Following the late summer trend, rain showers persist, yet June and July share a similar rainfall pattern. The continuance of the wet monsoon season does not bring a drastic change in temperature. Notably, the sea temperature starts its gradual descent to 29°C (84.2°F) but still remains warm enough for water excursions. Meanwhile, daylight hours take a slight dip in July but hold enough light for daytime activities.

Heat index

July's heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Practice every essential safety step. People with fair skin could receive burns in fewer than 5 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation. Even on overcast days, apply and frequently reapply a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more, specifically after a swim or outdoor workout. Watch out! Sand and water enhance the UV exposure you receive.
