October weather forecast
Dhangadhi, Nepal

October in Dhangadhi, Nepal rings in the post-monsoon season with an act of balance. There's a marked difference as conditions shift from a wet September to a much drier October with rainfall significantly reducing to 17mm (0.67"). Outdoor activities flourish in the generous sunlight and clear skies. The weather stays comfortably warm, resulting in pleasant days and cooler nights. The end of October marks a distinct transition towards the colder months of the year.

Temperature

With October's advent, Dhangadhi sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.7°C (89.1°F), subtly shifted from September's 33.1°C (91.6°F). During October, the average low-temperature is an agreeable 20.1°C (68.2°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during October is computed to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
