Weather in October
Temperature
A modest decline in the average high-temperature is seen during October, decreasing from a tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C) in September to a moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C). Ames's average low-temperature for the month of October records at a refreshing 61.7°F (16.5°C).Heat index
In October, the heat index is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). Exhaustion is likely with prolonged exposure and activity. Sustaining activity may result in heat cramps.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
