October weather forecast
Al Khan, United Arab Emirates

In October, Al Khan sees a substantial decrease in temperature, marking a transition towards cooler weather. A marked shift is observed from the extreme summer months to more moderate conditions. Rainfall remains at a minimum, and most of the month experiences clear skies. Despite the drop in temperature, sunshine hours are somewhat consistent when compared to the previous month. October presents a significant precursor to the more temperate climate anticipated in November.

Temperature

October's onset brings a negligible change in high-temperatures, falling from a fiery hot 37.2°C (99°F) in September to a hot 34.1°C (93.4°F). An average nighttime temperature of 27.7°C (81.9°F) is recorded in Al Khan during October.

Heat index

During October, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
