October weather forecast
Otali, Congo

October, the same as September, in Otali, Congo, is another tropical spring month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 30.1°C (86.2°F) and 22.2°C (72°F).

Temperature

October's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still tropical 30.1°C (86.2°F) from September's 31.4°C (88.5°F). Throughout October, Otali anticipates an average low-temperature of 22.2°C (72°F).

Heat index

In October, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Note: A daily maximum UV index of 7 in October translates into the following instructions:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
