October weather forecast
Albina, Suriname

Albina, Suriname in October, witnesses a significant rise in rainfall, marking a substantial shift towards the wet season once more. Temperature, UV index, and wind speed remain consistent, indicating stable weather outside of the increased rainfall. On the other hand, the city sees fewer days of unrestrained sunshine as the cloud coverage increases. Transitioning into November, the weather features increased rainfall and lower sunlight hours, characteristic of late-autumn tropical climates in the region.

Temperature

In Albina, the month of October registers the highest temperatures, averaging 33.1°C (91.6°F) at the peak and 22.8°C (73°F) at the lowest.

Heat index

The heat index for October is calculated to be a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

UV index

July through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Albina. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: A maximum UV index of 7 in October translates into the following recommendations:
Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. 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. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
