The arrival of October marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.5°C (90.5°F) from September's 33.3°C (91.9°F). In Curaray, an average low-temperature of 22.4°C (72.3°F) is recorded during October nights.

Heat index

October's heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. 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. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
