October in
Trang,
Thailand maintains the monsoon's traits but intermingled with a progressive decrease in rainfall to 286mm (11.26"). A general drop in precipitation levels, the gradual descent in daylight hours, and consistent temperatures collectively hint at the upcoming transition towards drier months. The city remains blanketed under a humidor cloak, with reduced rainfall catering to fewer cloud-covered afternoons. As October concludes, the rainfall encounters a decline, signaling the end of the heavy monsoon season.
Temperature
The shift into October records an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.8°C (89.2°F), subtly varied from
September's 31.9°C (89.4°F). October is noted for a mean low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F).
Heat index
For October, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F).
Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 88%, October is the most humid month.
