October weather forecast
Liberia, Costa Rica

October ushers in the pinnacle of the rainy season in Liberia, with the highest number of rainy days totaling 27.2. Liberia's weather remains in a constant state of flux. However, with the days getting slightly longer, daytime temperatures see a minor rise further compounded by consistent cloud coverage. Despite the rain, humidity drops slightly, and an increment in wind strength is noted. As the rainy season approaches its end, a further dip in visibility to 8km (5mi) marks the month.

Temperature

In Liberia, October is the month with the lowest recorded average temperatures, measuring a high of 29°C (84.2°F) and a low of 22.5°C (72.5°F).

Heat index

October's heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential.

Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
