October weather forecast
Jurdab, Bahrain

October in Jurdab is identified by clear skies, abundant sunshine, and comfortable temperatures. Although it continues to be dry like the preceding months, a visible decline in the temperature is observed paving the way for pleasant evenings. Transitioning from the hot summer days, October brings about noticeable changes in the weather elements, making it a lovely time to get around the city.

Temperature

October's arrival coincides with a soft drop in the average high-temperature, subtly decreasing from September's very hot 35.3°C (95.5°F) to a hot 32.2°C (90°F). Jurdab's average low temperature, barely cooler than the daytime high, steadies at a warm 29.8°C (85.6°F) during October.

Heat index

For October, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
