Temperature

The beginning of October sees the average high-temperature shift to a still hot 30.5°C (86.9°F), reflecting the readings of September. In Blue Ridge, an average nighttime temperature of 24.9°C (76.8°F) is expected during October.

Heat index

The heat index value during October is estimated at a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. 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.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Humidity

In October, the average relative humidity is 79%.

Rainfall

In October, the rain falls for 18.8 days. Throughout October, 72mm (2.83") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 203.7 rainfall days, and 849mm (33.43") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

February through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Blue Ridge. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: The UV index of 7 during October translates into the following guidance:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
