Weather in October
Temperature
The dawn of October sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 27.2°C (81°F), subtly contrasting with September's 25.6°C (78.1°F). Fochville anticipates a stark contrast in temperature during October nights, with an average low of 14.3°C (57.7°F).Heat index
October's mean heat index is computed to be 27°C (80.6°F). Exhaustion becomes probable with enduring exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
