August, the last month of the summer in
Wichian Buri District, is another tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 32.9°C (91.2°F) and an average low of 24.5°C (76.1°F).
Temperature
Wichian Buri District's shift into August sets the average high-temperature at a still tropical 32.9°C (91.2°F), a figure that deviates only slightly from
July's 33.5°C (92.3°F). In Wichian Buri District, the expected average low-temperature for August is a warm 24.5°C (76.1°F).
Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F).
Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
