October weather forecast
Lolá, Panama

Temperature

October is the coldest month, with the temperature often reaching an average high of 29.2°C (84.6°F) and an average low of 22.1°C (71.8°F).

Heat index

In October, the average heat index is computed to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

July through October, with an average relative humidity of 88%, are the most humid months.

UV index

July, August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: In October, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. 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. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
