Weather in October
Temperature
October's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 83.3°F (28.5°C), slightly deviating from September's 88.3°F (31.3°C). The nights of October anticipate an average low-temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
The average heat index in October is computed to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
