Weather in October
Temperature
October ushers in an average high-temperature of a still warm 28.5°C (83.3°F), aligning closely with the preceding month. An average minimum temperature of 22.7°C (72.9°F) marks the month of October.Heat index
In October, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Sunshine

The average daily maximum UV index in October is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: In October, the UV index of 6 transforms into the following advice:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
