Weather in October
Temperature
The lowest level of Gamboa's temperatures is noted during October and November, averaging a high-temperature of 28.7°C (83.7°F).Heat index
The heat index in October is computed to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
