Weather in October
Temperature
The arrival of October brings an average high-temperature of a hot 30.3°C (86.5°F), closely following the temperature pattern of September. Nighttime, during October, brings an average low of 25.5°C (77.9°F), a modest reduction from the day's peak.Heat index
Throughout October, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Sunshine

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in October interprets into the following recommendations:
Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
