October weather forecast
Currais, Brazil

October, the same as September, is another sweltering spring month in Currais, Brazil, with an average temperature fluctuating between 35.7°C (96.3°F) and 23.1°C (73.6°F).

Temperature

October's presence marks an average high-temperature of a still very hot 35.7°C (96.3°F), subtly varied from September's 35.8°C (96.4°F). A marked difference from the daytime temperatures, Currais's nighttime temperature falls to an average low of 23.1°C (73.6°F) in October.

Heat index

During October, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

UV index

Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during October leads to these instructions:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
