Weather in October
Temperature
The arrival of October marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.7°C (90.9°F) from September's 33.9°C (93°F). Kekirawa, in the month of October, anticipates a consistent average low-temperature of 23.2°C (73.8°F).Heat index
In October, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
