Weather in October
Temperature
October stands out as Chama's warmest month, with temperatures ranging between an average high of 29°C (84.2°F) and a low of 17.6°C (63.7°F).Heat index
Throughout October, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 30°C (86°F). Continuing activity during long-lasting exposure might induce tiredness and result in heat cramps.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. 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. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
