Weather in October
Temperature
The onset of October notes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.6°C (85.3°F), subtly shifted from September's 28.8°C (83.8°F). In Buna, an average temperature of 21.3°C (70.3°F) is noted during October nights.Heat index
October's mean heat index is computed to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

In Buna, in October, it is raining for 28.4 days, with typically 167mm (6.57") of accumulated precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 330.7 rainfall days, and 2168mm (85.35") of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine
With an average of 10.8h of sunshine, October has the most sunshine of the year.UV index
February through October and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In October, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
