Weather in October
Temperature
October is the warmest month of the year, registering average temperatures as high as 28.5°C (83.3°F) and as low as 17.1°C (62.8°F).Heat index
In October, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 30°C (86°F). Prolonged exposure and physical activity might induce exhaustion, potentially causing heat cramps.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
