October signifies the gradual shift towards the warmest time of the year in
Mariscal Estigarribia. The general climate of the city is marked by considerably higher temperatures than
September’s, and a noticeable increase in rainfall. October's significant rainfall deviation from the preceding month serves as a precursor for the rainier months ahead. With
November approaching, expect hikes in both temperature and rainfall.
Temperature
The shift into October reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 34°C, closely mirroring September's climate. October presents a pronounced difference from daytime highs, with a consistent average low-temperature of 19.7°C.
Heat index
October's mean heat index is computed to be a very hot 39°C. Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
