October weather forecast
Fuiloro, East Timor

Fuiloro, East Timor, begins to experience gradual changes in weather with the onset of October. October marks the beginning of the city's wet season. October records an abrupt rise in rainfall, with a recorded rainfall of 13mm (0.51"). The weather conditions facilitate both flora and fauna development due to the increased humidity and temperature. It is worth noting that there's a slow decline in sunshine hours.

Temperature

The transition into October shows a subtle variation to a hot 31.3°C (88.3°F) from September's 29.8°C (85.6°F) in the average high-temperature. Fuiloro experiences a steady low-temperature of 23°C (73.4°F) throughout October.

Heat index

October's heat index is computed to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
