October weather forecast
Aurora, Suriname

October carries forward the high-temperature legacy from the previous months in Aurora, Suriname, while witnessing the lowest rainfall of the year. Simultaneously, relative humidity too dips, aligning with the low-rainfall profile. Nonetheless, wind speed and gust conditions remain fairly normal, enriching the stable weather patterns seen throughout the year. Moderately decreasing temperatures earmark the gradual transition toward the final months of the year. Thus, October's weather story focuses mainly on the scanty rainfall and the continuation of high temperatures.

Temperature

The warmest time of the year is October, with temperatures averaging a high of 33.5°C (92.3°F) and a low of 20.7°C (69.3°F).

Heat index

October's mean heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
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 impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important 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.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Humidity

October is the least humid month, with an average relative humidity of 73%.

Rainfall

October is the month with the least rainfall in Aurora. Rain falls for 14.6 days and accumulates 38mm (1.5") of precipitation.

UV index

August through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Aurora, Suriname. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The UV index of 7 during October translates into the following guidance:
Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
