Weather in October
Temperature
October's advent presents an average high-temperature of a still warm 27.6°C (81.7°F), indicating a slight variation from the conditions of the previous month. In the month of October, Minta experiences an average low-temperature of 19.1°C (66.4°F).Heat index
October's mean heat index is calculated to be a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Ongoing exposure and activity could lead to a state of exhaustion, with a chance of heat cramps.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
