October brings
Hua Hin's most significant change in weather pattern. The city experiences its highest rainfall at 246mm (9.69"), more than double compared to
September. Despite the heavy rain, temperature levels gradually decline, providing a cooler climate while still maintaining typical tropical warmth. The high humidity of Hua Hin in October brings a lush and vibrant hue to the surrounding flora. As October ends, there's a remarkable reduction in rainfall, preparing for a transition into the cooler, dry season.
Temperature
Hua Hin's entry into October measures an average high-temperature of a still hot 31°C (87.8°F), closely parallel to the preceding month. During the nights in October, Hua Hin experiences a consistent average temperature of 24.6°C (76.3°F).
Heat index
Throughout October, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air 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. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Utilize every vital safety procedure. Individuals with light skin may endure burns in less than 5 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Apply and frequently reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen after every two hours, or immediately after a swim or outdoor exercise. Watch out! Sand and water enhance the UV exposure you receive.
