Weather in October
Temperature
October's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), showing a minute difference from September's 32.7°C (90.9°F). Throughout the month of October, El Mamey reports a steady low-temperature average of 21.9°C (71.4°F).Heat index
For October, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary.
