October weather forecast
Angoram, Papua New Guinea

The month of October demonstrates a reversal in Angoram's rainfall trend. An increase in total rainfall to 159mm (6.26") progressively gears the city towards the annual wet season. However, this ecological transformation does not drastically impact the town's favorable sunshine duration or average temperature. The wind tempo varies subtly, promising invigorating breezes over the mighty Sepik River. The end of the dry season retains the city's customary humidity, paving the way for the forthcoming rainy period.

Temperature

Angoram experiences its highest temperatures in October, with an average peak of 29.9°C (85.8°F) and a low of 25°C (77°F).

Heat index

For October, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
