October weather forecast
Kangkar, Singapore

October is consistent with the previous month's trend with an increase in rainfall to 69mm (2.72"). This month bears the onset of the monsoon season that typically continues into the first part of November. The temperature remains pleasant, hovering around the same as that of September, making it a comfortable time to go sightseeing or indulge in outdoor activities. As the land starts receiving more rainfall, the wind speed alters minimally, hence not affecting the overall conditions.

Temperature

Upon the onset of October, Kangkar witnesses an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.8°C (89.2°F), showing a close resemblance to the prior month. Kangkar throughout October, records an average low-temperature of 25.6°C (78.1°F).

Heat index

During October, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. 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.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
