Weather in October
Temperature
A minor escalation in the average high-temperature is seen with the onset of October, moving from a hot 31.7°C (89.1°F) in September to a very hot 35.4°C (95.7°F). Throughout October, Zuru records an average temperature of 24.5°C (76.1°F) at night.Heat index
October's average heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
