October weather forecast
Tixcacal, Mexico

October, like September, is a hot autumn month in Tixcacal, Mexico, with an average temperature fluctuating between 31.5°C (88.7°F) and 22.3°C (72.1°F).

Temperature

The transition into October is marked with an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.5°C (88.7°F), showing an insignificant shift from September's 33.6°C (92.5°F). During October, the average low-temperature is an agreeable 22.3°C (72.1°F).

Heat index

During October, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
