Weather in October
Temperature
Observing a slight rise in October, the average high-temperature shifts from September's tropical 34.4°C (93.9°F) to a torrid 37.9°C (100.2°F). A noteworthy thermal contrast characterizes Gaye's October nights, with temperatures averaging at a moderately hot 25.5°C (77.9°F).Heat index
The heat index value during October is computed to be a life-threatening hot 50°C (122°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
