Weather in October

In October, Iwo begins to experience slight relief from the monsoon conditions of the previous months. The rainfall decreases and a greater proportion of sunshine peeks through the clouds. This phase brings along an uptick in temperature and a gradual return of drier conditions. Yet, weather-wise, October still witnesses substantial rainfall with 109mm (4.29") recorded. As the cloud cover decreases, increased daylight and warmer temperatures signal the outset of the dry season.

Temperature

The advent of October in Iwo brings an average high-temperature of a tropical 31.5°C (88.7°F), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. The mean low-temperature during October nights is a pleasant 22.1°C (71.8°F).

Heat index

In October, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
