Weather in October
Temperature
The transition from September to October brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.2°C (88.2°F), barely different from September's 33.6°C (92.5°F). During the month of October, the temperature falls to an average of 22.1°C (71.8°F).Heat index
The average heat index in October is evaluated at a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

The months with the lowest UV index are February, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: A daily maximum UV index of 6 in October translates into the following instructions:
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. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
