October weather forecast
Bostok, French Guiana

Marking its place with a subtle transition from September, October is hallmarked by stable weather parameters. October carries forward the gentle transition that began in August, with increasing visibility in Bostok, French Guiana. The dramatically lower cloud cover compared to previous months, promotes better visibility. The gentler winds and relatively lower humidity further enhances this weather paradigm.

Temperature

October temperatures tend to peak at an average high of 34.9°C (94.8°F) and dip to a low of 20.8°C (69.4°F).

Heat index

Throughout October, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
