Weather in October
Temperature
The introduction of October notes a subtle temperature variation to a hot 30.8°C (87.4°F) from September's 28.8°C (83.8°F). An average low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F) is observed during October nights.Heat index
In October, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Sunshine
In October, the average sunshine is 6.5h.UV index
In October, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: The UV index of 6 during October translates into the following guidance:
Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
