October weather forecast
Ahtaung, Myanmar

October, like September, is a hot autumn month in Ahtaung, Myanmar, with an average temperature varying between 31.4°C (88.5°F) and 24.1°C (75.4°F).

Temperature

The shift into October records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), subtly varied from September's 30.8°C (87.4°F). Throughout October, Ahtaung registers a consistent average low-temperature of 24.1°C (75.4°F).

Heat index

In October, the average heat index is computed to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
