Weather in October
Temperature
The average high-temperature during October is a moderately hot 82.6°F (28.1°C), almost matching the conditions of the preceding month. In Palmetto, an average temperature of 71.8°F (22.1°C) is noted during October nights.Heat index
October's mean heat index is computed to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. 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 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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.
