Weather in October
Temperature
Shifting into October, Edward Piece records an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.3°C (86.5°F), presenting minor fluctuations compared to the previous month. October brings with it a nighttime average temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F).Heat index
For most parts of October, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

The months with the highest UV index in Edward Piece are May through August and October, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: In October, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
