Weather in October

October in Bangkok witnesses a culmination of the monsoon season and the inception of the city's much-awaited dry season. The city's weather map exhibits declining trends in rainfall and humidity levels, making the outdoor environment more pleasing. A decrease in cloud coverage makes for extended periods of sunshine, much to the delight of the residents. Despite the receding moisture levels, wave activities remain high due to the relatively high sea temperature. The decreasing rainfall paves the way for lower temperatures in November, promising a dry and comfortable climate.

Temperature

Bangkok's shift into October is marked by a subtle change to a still tropical 32.6°C (90.7°F) from September's 32.8°C (91°F) in temperature. Bangkok, in October, observes a steady average low-temperature of 24.8°C (76.6°F).

Heat index

The heat index for October is estimated at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
