Weather in October
Temperature
October introduces a minor temperature shift, with average high-temperatures adjusting from September's tropical 33.5°C (92.3°F) to a sweltering 37.8°C (100°F). Nighttime in October brings a stark departure from the daily high, resting at an average low-temperature of 25.3°C (77.5°F).Heat index
The heat index value for October is evaluated at a blazing hot 50°C (122°F). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
