October weather forecast
Campeche, Mexico

October sees a welcomed change as the rainy season begins to fade away. While temperature remains relatively high, residents and visitors are relieved as daily sun hours increase. Though still a part of the rainy season, a noticeable decrease in rainfall occurs. The weather pattern in October lays the groundwork for a even drier November.

Temperature

October begins with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F), reflecting close similarity to the preceding month. Campeche, during the month of October, experiences an average low-temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Heat index

October's average heat index is evaluated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are September and October, with an average relative humidity of 78%.

Rainfall

In Campeche, during October, the rain falls for 16.3 days and regularly aggregates up to 83mm (3.27") of precipitation. In Campeche, during the entire year, the rain falls for 149.4 days and collects up to 548mm (21.57") of precipitation.

UV index

February through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Campeche. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: A maximum UV index of 7 in October translates into the following recommendations:
Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat. Stay cautious! Sand and water reflections increase UV radiation potency.
