October weather forecast
Organabo, French Guiana

October's weather signals a modest return to typical tropical conditions after the relatively dry months of August and September. Though rainfall increases, the number of sunny hours stays high, hinting at the end of the dry season. Temperatures soar to their peak for the year in October, with the maximum hovering around 33.1°C (91.6°F). The return of more frequent rain, coupled with higher temperatures, serves to keep Organabo's typical tropical atmosphere intact. An increase in wind speed helps ward off any excessive humidity, making October a comfortable month in Organabo.

Temperature

In Organabo, the month of October is known for its highest average temperatures, reaching a high of 33.1°C (91.6°F) and a low of 22.8°C (73°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in October is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. 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. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
