Weather in October
Temperature
The transition into October is marked with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.9°C (93°F), showing an insignificant shift from September's 31.2°C (88.2°F). Nighttime temperatures consistently average a warm 24.9°C (76.8°F) during October.Heat index
The average heat index in October is evaluated at a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
