Weather in October
Temperature
The onset of October marks an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.9°C (87.6°F), hardly differing from September's 31.2°C (88.2°F). Pussella's temperature lowers to a mean of 21.8°C (71.2°F) during the nights in October.Heat index
The heat index value for October is estimated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°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. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
