October weather forecast
Guanajay, Cuba

October, like September, in Guanajay, Cuba, is another warm autumn month, with an average temperature varying between 29.2°C (84.6°F) and 24.4°C (75.9°F).

Temperature

September's transformation into October witnesses an average high-temperature of a warm 29.2°C (84.6°F), noting a minor change from the preceding month. October's average low-temperature is a still moderately hot 24.4°C (75.9°F), reflecting a minor difference from the day's peak temperatures.

Heat index

October's heat index is computed to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Note: A daily maximum UV index of 7 in October translates into the following instructions:
Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
