Weather in October
Temperature
The advent of October signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.2°F (27.9°C), aligning closely with September. Plantation Key encounters a small divergence from daytime high temperatures, averaging a low-temperature of 78.8°F (26°C) during October nights.Heat index
In October, the average heat index is evaluated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
