The city of
Coronel Oviedo in
October preserves the upward thermal march started in
September. Another significant characteristic of October is the notable jump in rainfall. It presides over September with 63mm (2.48") more rain, making 165mm (6.5") the largest rainfall amount of the year. Albeit, despite this influx in rainfall, relative humidity shows no significant surge and remains invariably close to September levels, making October an intriguing mix of increased heat and rainfall.
Temperature
October's onset in Coronel Oviedo brings a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 27°C (80.6°F) in September to a tropical 30°C (86°F). Coronel Oviedo registers a significant reduction from the day's heat, with an average temperature drop to a comfortable 18°C (64.4°F) in October.
Heat index
The average heat index in October is calculated to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. 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', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
