Weather in October
Temperature
October brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F), showing a slight difference from September's 29.8°C (85.6°F). Recording a slight drop from the daily maximum, Pijigua notes an average low temperature of 25.1°C (77.2°F) in the month of October.Heat index
The heat index in October is calculated to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for 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.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. 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. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
