Weather in October
Temperature
Rothdene observes an average high-temperature of a still warm 27.2°C (81°F) in October, barely different from 25.7°C (78.3°F) in September. Throughout October, Rothdene notes a dramatic plunge from the daily high to an average low-temperature of 14.5°C (58.1°F).Heat index
In October, the heat index is calculated to be 27°C (80.6°F). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
