Weather in October
Temperature
Upon the beginning of October, Ambaliyadda's high-temperatures register at a still warm 29.4°C (84.9°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. Throughout the month of October, Ambaliyadda witnesses an average low-temperature of 20.7°C (69.3°F).Heat index
The heat index value during October is computed to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
