October weather forecast
Cam Lộ, Vietnam

October carries in a perceptible transition from late summer temperatures to early coolness of the fall. Abatement in rainfall clears the way for vibrant fall colors under the sparkling sunlight. Gracefully, breezy conditions keep the weather comfortably humid, further aided by frequent bright periods. The drop in temperatures signals the imminent arrival of winter, bidding adieu to the humid summer. The drying trend encompasses most of October, setting the city into a pleasant weather zone.

Temperature

The arrival of October sees an average high-temperature of a warm 29.5°C (85.1°F), hardly diverging from September's 30°C (86°F). During the month of October, the temperature generally drops to a low average of 20.4°C (68.7°F).

Heat index

The heat index for October is computed to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
