October weather forecast
Kyaukpyu, Myanmar

October in Kyaukpyu, Myanmar is a time when the city fully embraces its dry season. The noticeable reduction in rainfall from September leads this transition. The city's weather during this month stays warm and dry, without the constant worry of rain. Even as humidity levels fall, temperatures remain on the warmer side. Clear skies and longer sunlight hours dominate, contributing to the pleasant weather.

Temperature

The average high-temperature in October, at a still warm 29.7°C (85.5°F), reveals a modest deviation from September's 29°C (84.2°F). Kyaukpyu maintains a minor drop in temperature during October nights, with averages of 26.4°C (79.5°F).

Heat index

During October, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
