Weather in October
Temperature
October's arrival registers an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.4°C (84.9°F), closely aligning with the temperature of the previous month. In October, the average low-temperature is an agreeable 20.7°C (69.3°F).Heat index
The heat index value for October is evaluated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. 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 are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
