January weather forecast
Satun, Thailand

Kick-starting the year, weather patterns in Satun, Thailand witness a slight hike in temperature from the preceding month of December. However, the shift is fairly subtle, owing to the tropical monsoon climate prevalent in this region. January holds the distinction of being one of the drier months, not experiencing copious rain showers typical of the area. Lighter rainfall, paired with a relatively high humidity of 70%, contributes to a damp yet warm environment. Compiling all variables, the weather sphere in January in Satun stretches from a low of 23.4°C (74.1°F) to a peak of 32.7°C (90.9°F) with a moderately dry spell quantified at 21mm (0.83") of rainfall.

Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. 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 body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
