October, like
September, is another hot spring month in
Mossoró,
Brazil, with an average temperature fluctuating between 34.6°C (94.3°F) and 22.8°C (73°F).
Temperature
The warmest period, with an average high-temperature of 34.6°C (94.3°F), falls in October and
November.
Heat index
October's heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F).
Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
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. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in October is 62%.
