Weather in October
Temperature
Puwakwetiya observes a minor difference in average high-temperatures between September's 29.1°C (84.4°F) and October's 30°C (86°F). A consistent nighttime average temperature of 25°C (77°F) is maintained in Puwakwetiya, Sri Lanka, during October.Heat index
The heat index value for October is estimated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. 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. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
