Temperature

The warmest time of the year is October, with temperatures averaging a high of 29.8°C (85.6°F) and a low of 22.6°C (72.7°F).

Heat index

In October, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

UV index

Note: In October, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
