Temperature

The onset of October brings with it an average high-temperature of a still hot 30°C (86°F), showing a negligible variation from the month before. A consistent average low-temperature of 25.9°C (78.6°F), with a minor variance from the daytime highs, is noted in Bukit Besi during the nights of October.

Heat index

The heat index value during October is estimated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
