Weather in October
Temperature
October experiences an average high-temperature of a warm 81.5°F (27.5°C), barely different from September's 86.5°F (30.3°C). Gulfport maintains an average of approximately a pleasant 72.5°F (22.5°C) during October nights, with only a minimal decrease from the daytime temperature.Heat index
The average heat index in October is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
