Temperature

The shift into October uncovers an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.5°C (88.7°F), subtly different from the previous month. Recording a slight decline in temperature during the nights, Macanan's October temperatures average at a moderately hot 27°C (80.6°F).

Heat index

October's mean heat index is computed to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in October interprets into the following recommendations:
Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
