October weather forecast
Buena Fé, Ecuador

October, like September, in Buena Fé, Ecuador, is a moderately hot spring month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 21.5°C (70.7°F) and 29.6°C (85.3°F).

Temperature

With the onset of October, the average high-temperature registers at a still moderately hot 29.6°C (85.3°F), subtly different from September's 29.9°C (85.8°F). Buena Fé reports a consistent average low-temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F) throughout October nights.

Heat index

For most parts of October, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in October is 76%.

Rainfall

In Buena Fé, Ecuador, in October, during 26.4 rainfall days, 75mm (2.95") of precipitation is typically accumulated. In Buena Fé, during the entire year, the rain falls for 294.5 days and collects up to 1962mm (77.24") of precipitation.

Sunshine

In October, the average sunshine is 6.2h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: A daily maximum UV index of 6 in October translates into the following instructions:
Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
