Weather in October
Temperature
Upon the beginning of October, Valayanmadam's high-temperatures register at a still moderately hot 29.2°C (84.6°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. Valayanmadam, during October nights, witnesses an average temperature marginally cooler than its daytime highs, at a still warm 27.7°C (81.9°F).Heat index
In October, the average heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
