Weather in October

October in Yap is synonymous with warm days and reasonably comfortable nights, a trend characteristic of previous months. The distinguishing attribute of October is a marked reduction in average rainfall to 304mm (11.97"), suggestive of drying conditions. The drop in precipitation along with an increase in sunlight hours points to a less humid atmosphere. The sea water maintains a steady warm temperature, welcoming for swimmers and divers. October's weather paves the way for an immersive experience into Yap's natural landscapes and cultural explorations.

Temperature

The transition into October is marked with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.9°C (87.6°F), showing an insignificant shift from September's hot 30.9°C (87.6°F). Throughout October, Yap anticipates an average low-temperature of 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Heat index

In October, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. 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 particularly relevant to 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.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

The Sun's UV exposure elevates with sand and water reflections.
