October weather forecast
Liro, Benin

In October, the rainfall sharply descends further and warmth dominates the climate in Liro, marking the retreat of the wet season. Much of the characteristic humidity starts to evaporate, replaced instead by a marked rise in temperatures. Furthermore, it also introduces an increase in the hours of daily sunshine. Derived features include mild winds sweeping across the city and a clear, enjoyable visibility that is constant at approximately 9 km.

Temperature

Liro marks the onset of October with an average high-temperature of a hot 32.7°C (90.9°F), subtly divergent from September's 29.8°C (85.6°F). During October, Liro observes a consistent average nighttime temperature of 22.4°C (72.3°F).

Heat index

The heat index for October is computed to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in October is 70%.

UV index

Note: The UV index of 7 in October translates into these instructions:
Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
