October sees the highest rainfall, with precipitation levels spiking to 302mm (11.89") for
Mitzic. Despite this surge, October retains the tropical climate trend with no noticeable changes in temperature and humidity from the preceding month. The abundance of rainfall during this month categorizes it as the peak of the wet period in Mitzic. As
November approaches, one can expect a sharp drop in rainfall, but temperatures and humidity will remain relatively consistent. The weather of October is wet and warm, a true representation of the city’s tropical climate at its most rainy point.
Temperature
The transition into October marks the average high-temperature at a still warm 29.3°C (84.7°F), differing minimally from
September's 28.8°C (83.8°F). The average low-temperature during October nights is a refreshing 19.9°C (67.8°F).
Heat index
October's average heat index is evaluated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for 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.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
Humidity
In October, the average relative humidity is 82%.
