October weather forecast
Fuiloro, East Timor

Fuiloro, East Timor, begins to experience gradual changes in weather with the onset of October. October marks the beginning of the city's wet season. October records an abrupt rise in rainfall, with a recorded rainfall of 13mm (0.51"). The weather conditions facilitate both flora and fauna development due to the increased humidity and temperature. It is worth noting that there's a slow decline in sunshine hours.

Temperature

The dawn of October sees an average high-temperature of a tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F), subtly contrasting with September's 29.8°C (85.6°F). The low-temperature averages to a warm 23°C (73.4°F) during the nights of October.

Heat index

The heat index value for October is computed to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. 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. 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 hold great significance to 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.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
