October weather forecast
Saul, French Guiana

October expands upon September's trend but curtails the length of daylight hours. More sunlit days, complemented by longer sunshine hours of 8.8 hours per day, are the norm this month. Light seasonal winds blow across Saul, keeping the weather pleasant and balmy. Temperatures swing around relative highs and lows, maintaining a balanced weather pattern. As October winds down, Saul starts gearing up for the transition back into its rainy phase.

Temperature

October, with its high-temperature average of 34.9°C (94.8°F) and a low-temperature average of 20.8°C (69.4°F), is the warmest month in Saul.

Heat index

During October, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 51°C (123.8°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. 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. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
