Weather in October
Temperature
In Nkolabona, October is the coldest month, with temperatures averaging a high of 28.6°C (83.5°F) and a low of 20.9°C (69.6°F).Heat index
October's heat index is appraised at a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

A UV Index reading of 3 to 5 represents a medium vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum UV index, 5 during October, leads to the following recommendations:
Be mindful. Those with pale skin might receive burns in fewer than 30 minutes. The Sun is most powerful around mid-day, so it's a good practice to reduce direct exposure. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
