Weather in October
Temperature
October's arrival comes with a mild decrease in the average high-temperature, moving subtly from a tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C) in September to a warm 82.9°F (28.3°C). An average low-temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C) is recorded in the month of October.Heat index
In October, the heat index is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
