Weather in October

October, the same as September, is another warm autumn month in Havelock Town, Sri Lanka, with an average temperature varying between 29.7°C (85.5°F) and 25.4°C (77.7°F).

Entering October, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F), exhibiting a minimal shift from September's 29°C (84.2°F). A modest nighttime temperature average of 25.4°C (77.7°F) characterizes October.

Heat index

The heat index value for October is computed to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important 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.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
