Weather in October
Temperature
October's weather records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.5°C (83.3°F), showing little deviation from September. Eheliyagoda observes an average low-temperature of 20.8°C (69.4°F) during October nights.Heat index
October's mean heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
