Weather in October

With the onset of October, Palo Alto experiences a modest temperature adjustment, with the average high-temperature gently receding from a hot 90.3°F (32.4°C) in September to a moderately hot 83.8°F (28.8°C). During October, Palo Alto's temperature falls to a steady low-temperature average of 68.4°F (20.2°C).Heat index
The heat index in October is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Fatigue might occur with continuous exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
