The first month of the post-monsoon autumn,
October, is also a moderately hot month in
Kirandul,
India, with an average temperature varying between 29.9°C (85.8°F) and 19.6°C (67.3°F).
Temperature
With the onset of October, Kirandul's average high-temperature clocks in at a still warm 29.9°C (85.8°F), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. October's average low-temperature reading settles at a refreshing 19.6°C (67.3°F).
Heat index
October's mean heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. 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 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in October is 74%.
