Weather in October
Temperature
In October, the average high-temperature registers at a moderately hot 29.2°C (84.6°F), nearly identical to September's 30.1°C (86.2°F). In Golden Spring, the average low-temperature during the month of October is 24°C (75.2°F).Heat index
October's average heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

The months with the highest UV index are June through October, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: The UV index of 7 during October translates into the following guidance:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
