October weather forecast
Hunukú, Mexico

October, like September, is another tropical autumn month in Hunukú, Mexico, with an average temperature ranging between max 31.4°C (88.5°F) and min 21.5°C (70.7°F).

Temperature

As September transitions into October, Hunukú records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), showing a gentle shift from the preceding month. Throughout October, an average low-temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F) is expected.

Heat index

For most parts of October, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 quite important for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are September and October, with an average relative humidity of 82%.

Note: A maximum daily UV index of 6 during October morphs into the following directions:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
