Udon Thani bids goodbye to the monsoon season, marked by a significant reduction in rainfall to 123mm (4.84"), and relative humidity dipping to 76%. However, the city continues to experience warm temperatures throughout the day and night. A rise in sunshine hours brings more illumination, delivering warm, inviting afternoons perfect for indulging in outdoor activities. Hence, the weather in Udon Thani in October is predominantly warm, with decreasing rainfall and humidity, marking the onset of the post-monsoon transition period.

The advent of October brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.6°C (88.9°F), almost identical to the preceding month. Udon Thani experiences an average low-temperature reading of 22.9°C (73.2°F) throughout October.
Heat index
October's heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
