Temperature

With the dawn of October, Salugan witnesses an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.5°C (85.1°F), on par with September. Throughout October, a modest shift from daytime highs is anticipated, with an average low-temperature of 24.7°C (76.5°F).

Heat index

October's heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in October is 84%.

Rainfall

In October, the rain falls for 23.6 days. Throughout October, 102mm (4.02") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 251.4 rainfall days, and 1249mm (49.17") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are February through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: During October, 7 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
