October weather forecast
Baramita, Guyana

With the progression into October, Baramita transitions into lighter rainfall days. Characterized by 103mm (4.06") rainfall, October gives the city a breather from the intense monsoon experienced in the previous months. The reduced rainfall corresponds to lower relative humidity maintaining the ongoing descent. Temperatures remain almost constant, providing consistent warmth during the day. Looking ahead, November suggests a further decline in rainfall levels, taking a step closer to marking the end of the rainy season.

Temperature

October brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.9°C (89.4°F), nearly identical to the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F) is recorded in the month of October in Baramita.

Heat index

The heat index in October is calculated to be a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
