Weather in October
Temperature
A slight uplift in the average high-temperature marks October, adjusting from September's tropical 32.9°C (91.2°F) to a very hot 36.5°C (97.7°F). During the month of October, the temperature generally drops to a low average of 24.7°C (76.5°F).Heat index
The heat index in October is evaluated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

March through June and October, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 8 to 10 represents a very high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: In October, the average maximum UV index of 8 translates into the following recommendations:
Always use protective measures; unprotected skin might suffer damage in a short span. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
