September, in
Tuxpan,
Mexico, is another hot autumn month, with an average temperature varying between 22°C (71.6°F) and 31.5°C (88.7°F).

Heat index
October's mean heat index is appraised at a blistering 44°C (111.2°F).
Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

In October, the average relative humidity is 83%.
