Weather in October

October, like September, in Jayapura, Indonesia, is a moderately hot spring month, with an average temperature ranging between min 23.2°C (73.8°F) and max 29.2°C (84.6°F).

Temperature

The warmest period is usually observed in October and November, with the average high-temperature peaking at 29.2°C (84.6°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for October is calculated to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely 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.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
