Weather in October
Temperature
October brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28°C (82.4°F), showing a slight difference from September's 27.5°C (81.5°F). The mean low-temperature during October nights is an enjoyable 17.2°C (63°F).Heat index
For October, the heat index is computed to be 29°C (84.2°F). If one persists in activity during exposure, it could induce weariness and subsequently, heat cramps.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
