October weather forecast
Jimani, Dominican Republic

By October, the warmth of the summer steadily fades, making way for the revival of rainfall. Witnessing a steady increase in average precipitation, yet still less than the September peak, the city braces for the second surge of the wet season. The reduction in daylight hours to an average of 11.7 hours a day correlates with the shortening days of the closing year. Nevertheless, the tropical warmth persists, cushioning the return of the rains with a comforting, steady heat.

Heat index

Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
