With the arrival of October, Idar's average high-temperature registers at a still hot 34.9°C (94.8°F), indicating a subtle variation from the previous month. In Idar, October's nights observe an average temperature dip to a warm 23.6°C (74.5°F).

Heat index

October's heat index is appraised at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in October is 42%.

UV index

Note: In October, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
