Weather in October
Temperature
The transition into October is marked with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.5°C (88.7°F), showing an insignificant shift from September's 31.9°C (89.4°F). Nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 22.3°C (72.1°F) in October.Heat index
In October, the average heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

The months with the lowest UV index are January, February, April, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: In October, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
