April greets
Nakhon Si Thammarat with remarkable weather adjustments. The maximum temperature touches the hottest recorded for the year at 34°C (93.2°F), while the minimum temperature reading is similarly on the rise at 23.7°C (74.7°F). However, increased heat does not equate to a dearth in precipitation, as rainfall measurements illustrate 107mm (4.21") during this month. As April rolls into
May, it passes on these hotter climatic patterns, albeit graced with longer daylight periods stretching to 12.5 hours and amplified precipitation intensity.
Temperature
The months of April through
June see the peak of Nakhon Si Thammarat's temperatures, averaging a high of 34°C (93.2°F).
Heat index
April's mean heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 52°C (125.6°F).
Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
