Upon the onset of October, Five Star witnesses an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.2°C (88.2°F), showing a close resemblance to the prior month. Five Star's average low-temperature during October nights is observed to be a moderately hot 24.7°C (76.5°F).

Heat index

The heat index in October is calculated to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. 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. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in October is 80%.

UV index

March through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 7 during October translates into the following directions:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
