Weather in October
Temperature
The introduction of October notes a subtle temperature variation to a still hot 30.2°C (86.4°F) from September's 33°C (91.4°F). During the month of October, an average low-temperature of 20.3°C (68.5°F) is recorded.Heat index
For most parts of October, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. 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. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

The average daily maximum UV index in October is 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The daily high UV index of 6 in October translates into this advice:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
