Weather in October
Temperature
The shift into October reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86°F, closely mirroring September's climate. La Cueva's temperature in October lowers to a consistent average of 73.4°F during the nights.Heat index
The heat index for October is computed to be a sweltering 102.2°F. Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. 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. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Sunshine
In October, the average sunshine is 9h.UV index
May through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: A daily high UV index of 7 in October leads to these guidelines:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
