Satun witnesses its apogee of rainfall in
September, earning the title of the wettest month in the region. The highest humidity of the year compounds with maximum rains to create a super moist environment, with the saturated conditions fairly dominating the climate proceedings. What's unique about this month, besides the heavy rains, is the gradual decline in temperature as the year progresses. Taking a numerical snapshot, record rain showers amounting to 328mm (12.91"), combined with the temperature domain from a cooler 23.6°C (74.5°F) to 31.4°C (88.5°F), cement September's station as wet and moderately warm.
Temperature
With average high temperatures of 31.4°C (88.5°F) and lows of 23.6°C (74.5°F), September is the coldest month.
Heat index
During September, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 44°C (111.2°F).
Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
