October weather forecast
Bogor, Indonesia

October marks the gradual return of the wet period in Bogor, with rainfall levels rising to 116mm (4.57"). While rainfall increases, cloud cover also thickens, reducing sunlight hours and promoting a cooler environment. However, the temperatures keep on the higher side, ensuring the weather never gets too cold. This month also records a visible decline in the UV index from previous months, meaning less ultraviolet radiation. The gentle wind from September continues into October, offering a refreshing balance to the increasing humidity.

Temperature

Bogor experiences its highest average temperatures in October, reaching a peak of 31.5°C (88.7°F) and a minimum of 23.5°C (74.3°F).

Heat index

During October, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. 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. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
