October weather forecast
Nandanam, India

The first month of the post-monsoon autumn, October, is still a hot month in Nandanam, India, with temperature in the range of an average high of 31.7°C (89.1°F) and an average low of 26.3°C (79.3°F).

Temperature

The advent of October brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.7°C (89.1°F), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. Throughout October, a steady low-temperature average of 26.3°C (79.3°F) is noted.

Heat index

Throughout October, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
