Weather in October
Temperature
October brings a slight increase in the average high-temperature, progressing from a tropical 32°C (89.6°F) in September to a torrid 35.4°C (95.7°F). In October, Jufureh experiences a temperature dip to an average of 24.8°C (76.6°F) at night.Heat index
The heat index for October is calculated to be a burning hot 51°C (123.8°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
