Weather in October
Temperature
October sees a marginal temperature increase, moving from a tropical 32.9°C (91.2°F) in September to a very hot 36.5°C (97.7°F). During October, Virou experiences a consistent low-temperature average of 24.8°C (76.6°F).Heat index
October's heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
