The relative humidity and cloud cover decrease but continue to maintain the city's moist atmosphere. However, temperature and wind speeds stay quite constant, leading to weather stability. October's weather induces a transformation in the leaves and greeneries of Krakor, giving it an attractive appeal.

Temperature

During October, Krakor records an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.8°C (87.4°F), marking a slight divergence from September's 31.5°C (88.7°F). The average low-temperature of 24°C (75.2°F) is witnessed during October.

Heat index

October's mean heat index is calculated to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Note: In October, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
