Weather in October
Temperature
October's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still moderately hot 28.5°C (83.3°F) from September's 27.5°C (81.5°F). An average nighttime temperature of 20.8°C (69.4°F) is noted during the month of October.Heat index
Throughout October, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
