Weather in October
Temperature
KwaMhlanga's shift into October sets the average high-temperature at a still moderately hot 27.9°C (82.2°F), a figure that deviates only slightly from September's 26.6°C (79.9°F). A steep decline to a refreshing 15.6°C (60.1°F) characterizes the October nights.Heat index
Throughout October, the heat index is evaluated at 28°C (82.4°F). Exhaustion becomes probable with enduring exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
