Temperature

The onset of October marks an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.4°C (90.3°F), hardly differing from September's 32.1°C (89.8°F). October's average low-temperature reading settles at an agreeable 22.3°C (72.1°F).

Heat index

For October, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
