Temperature

The temperatures reach their highest averages in October, with highs of 37.2°C (99°F) and lows of 26.4°C (79.5°F).

Heat index

During October, the 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.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
