Weather in October
Temperature
October signals a high temperature of a still hot 33.1°C (91.6°F), showing little variation from September. Throughout the month of October, Dif expects an average low of 24.4°C (75.9°F).Heat index
The average heat index in October is evaluated at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. 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 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of 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. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes.

Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
