October weather forecast
Kawang, Myanmar

October, like September, in Kawang, Myanmar, is another warm autumn month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 25.5°C (77.9°F) and an average high of 29.4°C (84.9°F).

Temperature

October's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.4°C (84.9°F), barely different from September's 29.8°C (85.6°F). Kawang encounters an average temperature dip to a still moderately hot 25.5°C (77.9°F) throughout October, subtly lower than its daytime maximum.

Heat index

Throughout October, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January, February, July, August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: A maximum high UV index of 6 in October translates into the following recommendations:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
