October weather forecast
Allahabad, India

In October, Allahabad relishes in a respite with the conclusion of the monsoons. The city basks under the moderate warm sun, making daily activities pleasurable again. A uniform fall in rainfall and slight increase in sunshine hours reestablish dry conditions. A steep decline in precipitation quantity, logged at 27mm (1.06"), elevates the arrival of the post-monsoon phase. Thus, October paints a clearer sky and drier surroundings, paving the path for gentler weather to follow.

October's arrival presents an average high temperature of a still tropical 32.9°C (91.2°F), indicating consistency with September's weather. Despite drastic daily temperature oscillations, Allahabad cools down to an average low-temperature of 20.4°C (68.7°F) in October.

Heat index

For October, the heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. 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 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
