Weather in October
Temperature
The arrival of October brings an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F), nearly identical to September's 30.3°C (86.5°F). An average low-temperature of 23°C (73.4°F) is observed during October nights.Heat index
October's mean heat index is estimated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
