The transition into
October brings a more comfortable climate in
Siwa Oasis. With the summers slowly receding, the oasis is bestowed with a mild and agreeable weather pattern. The daytime temperatures, though still warm, are not as blistering as those of the past months. Moreover, the relative humidity begins to escalate subtly, instilling a greater sense of moisture in the air. As always, the clear, blue sky dominates with no or negligible rainfall, making October a perfect time for a visit to Siwa Oasis.

The beginning of October brings a minor change in the average high-temperature, shifting from 34.6°C (94.3°F) in
September to a still tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F). A considerable shift from the daytime highs is observed during October nights, with an average low of 15.5°C (59.9°F).
Heat index
October's mean heat index is appraised at a hot 32°C (89.6°F). Continuous activity in exposure could lead to a feeling of fatigue and heat cramps.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
