Weather in October
Temperature
At the onset of October, Futa records an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.4°C (86.7°F), showing little deviation from the preceding month. Futa's nighttime temperature during October is consistently averaged at a pleasant 21.7°C (71.1°F).Heat index
The heat index in October is appraised at a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. 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 hold particular importance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
