April embraces the continuity in the trend of escalating rainfall, increasing it even further to surpass the rainfall recorded in
March. Despite encompassing similar ambient temperatures as the preceding month, the substantial precipitation tells a different narrative for
Satun. Furnishing the largest increment in rainfall quantity thus far, the month also slightly lifts the humidity gradient, promoting a more moist environment. An indicative peek into the numbers shows maximum temperatures brushing 34.1°C (93.4°F), with a recorded rainfall level of 206mm (8.11"), reflecting the strong surge in rains.
Temperature
The commencement of April in Satun brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 34.1°C (93.4°F), marking an inconsequential divergence from March. During April, the temperature is averaged to a low of 24.1°C (75.4°F) at night.
Heat index
The heat index value for April is evaluated at a burning hot 52°C (125.6°F).
Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
