Weather in October
Temperature
The arrival of October is marked by an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F), bearing a close resemblance to September. October nights are marked by an average temperature drop to 23°C (73.4°F).Heat index
In October, the average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
