October weather forecast
Beriota, Papua New Guinea

October, like September, in Beriota, Papua New Guinea, is another warm spring month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 25.5°C (77.9°F) and 29.2°C (84.6°F).

Temperature

October observes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.2°C (84.6°F), marking an insignificant difference from September's 28.7°C (83.7°F). Beriota's average nighttime temperature in October modestly descends to a still warm 25.5°C (77.9°F).

Heat index

Throughout October, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

The months with the lowest humidity are October and November, with an average relative humidity of 77%.

Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 during October translates into the following directions:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
