October weather forecast
Tokua, Papua New Guinea

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

Temperature

Tokua starts October with an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.2°C (84.6°F), a minor shift from September's 28.7°C (83.7°F). Nighttime, during October, brings an average low of 25.5°C (77.9°F), a modest reduction from the day's peak.

Heat index

The heat index in October is estimated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Note: In October, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
