Weather in October
Temperature
October observes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.1°C (84.4°F), marking an insignificant difference from September's 29.3°C (84.7°F). Arroyo Salado records a consistent average nighttime temperature of 24.8°C (76.6°F) in October, slightly lower than the daytime high.Heat index
October's mean heat index is appraised at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
