Weather in October
Temperature
During October, Gifford records an average high-temperature of a still warm 81.7°F (27.6°C), marking a slight divergence from September's 85.5°F (29.7°C). Gifford, during October nights, records a temperature marginally cooler than the daytime average, at a still moderately hot 74.1°F (23.4°C).Heat index
The average heat index in October is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Continuous activity in exposure could lead to a feeling of fatigue and heat cramps.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
