October weather forecast
Bửu Long, Vietnam

October, the same as September, in Bửu Long, Vietnam, is another tropical autumn month, with an average temperature varying between 31.3°C (88.3°F) and 24.5°C (76.1°F).

Temperature

The advent of October brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F), almost identical to the preceding month. October's average low-temperature reading settles at a warm 24.5°C (76.1°F).

Heat index

Throughout October, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

In October, the average relative humidity is 82%.

Rainfall

In October, the rain falls for 27.8 days. Throughout October, 172mm (6.77") of precipitation is accumulated. In Bửu Long, during the entire year, the rain falls for 241.8 days and collects up to 1283mm (50.51") of precipitation.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: In October, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
