October signifies a considerable shift in the climatic trends of
Lampang,
Thailand. With the monsoon receding, the amount of rainfall sees a substantive decline, heralding the arrival of the cold season. Relative humidity, however, remains on the upper scale due to residual moisture from the rainy season. The changes in weather profile are complemented by a gradual shortening of the daylight hours in line with the seasonal transition.
Temperature
At the start of October, Lampang's average high-temperature reaches a still hot 32.3°C (90.1°F), subtly different from the preceding month. In Lampang, the average low-temperature during the month of October is a pleasant 22.3°C (72.1°F).
Heat index
For October, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F).
Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
