Weather in October
Temperature
The arrival of October sees a recorded average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), showing little divergence from the previous month's conditions. Lukonga experiences an average low-temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F) in the month of October.Heat index
The average heat index in October is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. 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 quite important for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
