Weather in October
Temperature
The advent of October signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.9°C (85.8°F), aligning closely with September. Kudapaduwa's nighttime temperatures in October settle close to daytime highs at an average of 25.1°C (77.2°F).Heat index
The heat index for October is estimated at a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
