October weather forecast
Bolivia, Cuba

October, the same as September, is a moderately hot autumn month in Bolivia, Cuba, with an average temperature fluctuating between 29.8°C (85.6°F) and 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Temperature

The advent of October sees the average high-temperature at a warm 29.8°C (85.6°F), subtly shifted from September's 31.3°C (88.3°F). An average nighttime temperature of 23.7°C (74.7°F) is recorded during October.

Heat index

In October, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Humidity

October is the most humid month, with an average relative humidity of 82%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The UV index of 7 during October translates into the following guidance:
Act on precautions and pay attention to sun safety recommendations. Avoidance of sunburn is obligatory. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
