Weather in October
Temperature
The beginning of October reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. Nighttime temperatures in October average to a pleasant 22.5°C (72.5°F).Heat index
The average heat index in October is evaluated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The daily maximum UV index of 6 in October interprets into the following advice:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
