October weather forecastKalikapur, India

Weather in October

The first month of the post-monsoon autumn, October, is still a tropical month in Kalikapur, India, with an average temperature varying between 21.1°C (70°F) and 30.2°C (86.4°F).

Temperature

The arrival of October sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.2°C (86.4°F), hardly diverging from September's 31.3°C (88.3°F). Throughout October, Kalikapur witnesses a nighttime temperature average of 21.1°C (70°F).

Heat index

October's average heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
