Weather in October
Temperature
October's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a hot 32.4°C (90.3°F) from September's 29.7°C (85.5°F). October nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 22.7°C (72.9°F).Heat index
October's heat index is calculated to be a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
