Weather in October
Temperature
October's arrival coincides with a marginal rise in the average high-temperature, moving from September's tropical 33.5°C (92.3°F) to a torrid 36.5°C (97.7°F). Biba cools down to an average low-temperature of 25°C (77°F) throughout the month of October.Heat index
The heat index in October is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
