Weather in October
Temperature
With the beginning of October, the average high-temperature shows a small decrease, transitioning from a hot 87.3°F (30.7°C) in September to a moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C). An average low-temperature of 63.5°F (17.5°C) is recorded in the month of October.Heat index
The average heat index in October is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Long-lasting exposure and activity potentially induce a sense of weariness, with the risk of heat cramps.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
