October weather forecast
Bago, Myanmar

October marks the transition from the wet season to the dry in Bago, Myanmar. Rainfall subsides dramatically to 79mm (3.11"), nearly half of the previous month's counts, reflecting the changing weather dynamics. Drastic changes in the number of sunshine days bear evidence to the retreating clouds. The transition between October and November will see a further plummet in the rainfall figures, setting the tone for the concluding months of the year.

Temperature

As October takes its course, Bago's average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), closely aligning with the preceding month. In Bago, an average temperature of 24.1°C (75.4°F) is noted during October nights.

Heat index

October's mean heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
