Despite encountering occasional showers, temperatures slowly start to rise, signaling the upcoming dry season. The changing weather conditions prompt a renewed appreciation for the city's resilience amid shifting weather paradigms. Therefore, October provides an intriguing time to witness the gradual transformation of the weather and the city's adaptation to these changes.

Temperature

The onset of October in Parañaque brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.8°C (87.4°F), nearly matching the September temperature. The average temperature during October nights is registered at a warm 25.5°C (77.9°F).

Heat index

For most parts of October, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
