Temperature

October's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a moderately hot 29.5°C (85.1°F) from September's 31.2°C (88.2°F). An average low-temperature of 23.2°C (73.8°F) is recorded during the nights in October.

Heat index

The heat index value for October is evaluated at a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
