With
October, the clear signs of
Kalabagan transitioning from the monsoon to a drier period become evident. The city experiences a marked reduction in rainfall—172mm (6.77")—in comparison to the preceding months. By now, the humidity starts shedding its intensity while the temperatures align to the transitional pattern. As October progresses, Kalabagan finds itself reconnecting with more stable and predictable weather.
Temperature
Entering October, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still tropical 31.6°C (88.9°F), maintaining parity with
September. Kalabagan records an average low of 23.8°C (74.8°F) throughout the nights in October.
Heat index
In October, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. 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.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
