October weather forecast
Hururu, Guyana

October, the same as September, in Hururu, Guyana, is another tropical autumn month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 33.5°C (92.3°F) and 22.7°C (72.9°F).

Temperature

With October's advent, Hururu sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.5°C (92.3°F), subtly shifted from September's 33.6°C (92.5°F). In October, the temperature drops to an average of 22.7°C (72.9°F) at night.

Heat index

October's heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
