October weather forecast
Sasa, Fiji

October in Sasa, Fiji, brings a steady rise in temperatures, signaling the return to the sweltering tropical weather. A significant increase in rainfall to 118mm (4.65") further signifies this climatic change. The rise in humidity adds to the sticky feel in the air, bringing back memories of the balmy summer conditions. Coupled with this, the wind speed decreases slightly, resulting in more stagnant and warmer air. October, therefore, stands as a transition period, merging the dryness of the past months with the wetter and hotter weather typical of the tropical summer.

Heat index

October's average heat index is computed to be a hot 31°C (87.8°F). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
