While both the daylight and sunshine durations continue their subtle decline, the receding UV index promises milder sun exposure.

Temperature

As September makes way for October, Taba's average high-temperature eases from a fiery hot 35.9°C (96.6°F) to a tropical 32.4°C (90.3°F). An average nighttime temperature of 20.9°C (69.6°F) is recorded during October.

Heat index

Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
