A minimal variation is noted in Tatene's average high-temperature at the onset of October, reaching a still tropical 34.9°C (94.8°F) from September's 32.6°C (90.7°F). Tatene, during the month of October, experiences an average low-temperature of 26.2°C (79.2°F).

Heat index

In October, the average heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Humidity

In October, the average relative humidity is 62%.

UV index

Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during October, leads to the following recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
