Weather in October
Temperature
With the onset of October, the average high-temperature stands at a still warm 28.7°C (83.7°F), closely aligned with September's 28°C (82.4°F). Ruangwa usually reports an average low-temperature of 23.5°C (74.3°F) during the month of October.Heat index
In October, the average heat index is estimated at a tropical 33°C (91.4°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. 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 extremely significant for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
