The richness of the tropical climate hits its stride in
April. Both rainfall and temperatures increase remarkably from
March to April, with 90mm (3.54") of rainfall across seven days and peak temperatures soaring to 36.4°C (97.5°F). As these elements dance in harmony with the extended daylight hours and slightly elevated humidity levels, April frames some of the most radiantly warm and wet days in
Khon Kaen. Moving ahead into
May, climatic conditions shift, accommodating a rise in rainfall, which escalates the city's greenery and leafy grandeur.
Temperature
The highest temperatures are recorded in April, with averages reaching a high of 36.4°C (97.5°F) and a low of 23.7°C (74.7°F).
Heat index
The heat index for April is calculated to be a burning hot 52°C (125.6°F).
Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
