Weather in October

October, the first month of the post-monsoon autumn in Kathalia, is still a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 30.3°C (86.5°F) and an average low of 22.7°C (72.9°F).

Temperature

The average high-temperature is a still hot 30.3°C (86.5°F) in October, hardly different from the 31.5°C (88.7°F) recorded in September. An average temperature of 22.7°C (72.9°F) marks the nights in October.

Heat index

Throughout October, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

The average relative humidity in October is 83%.

Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
