October weather forecast
Kakambona, Solomon Islands

In October, the weather in Kakambona exhibits an ascendant trend from the previous month with a rise in the level of rainfall reaching 210mm (8.27"). The increase in rainfall does not affect sunshine hours, which remain steady, providing optimal daylight. However, the wind reduces its pace, thus decreasing the gustiness significantly. Judging by these patterns, October marks the transition to wetter conditions with consistent sunshine and calmer winds, ushering in a windless and much wetter season.

Temperature

At the start of October, Kakambona's average high-temperature reaches a still warm 28.9°C (84°F), subtly different from the preceding month. An average nighttime temperature of 23.8°C (74.8°F) is witnessed throughout October.

Heat index

In October, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes.
