Temperature

The beginning of October reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.5°C (88.7°F), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. October witnesses an average nighttime temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F).

Heat index

In October, the average heat index is evaluated at a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
