Weather in October
Temperature
October's onset brings a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving from a hot 32.9°C (91.2°F) in September to a fiery hot 36.5°C (97.7°F). An average nighttime temperature of 24.8°C (76.6°F) is noted during the month of October.Heat index
Throughout October, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
