Weather in October

October, like September, is a hot autumn month in Naogon, Benin, with an average temperature fluctuating between 23.4°C (74.1°F) and 32.5°C (90.5°F).

The arrival of October records an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.5°C (90.5°F), closely related to the 30.6°C (87.1°F) observed in September. In Naogon, October is marked by an average low-temperature of 23.4°C (74.1°F).

Heat index

October's heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

In October, the average relative humidity is 81%.

Rainfall

In October, the rain falls for 22.9 days. Throughout October, 108mm (4.25") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 207.1 rainfall days, and 739mm (29.09") of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

Note: In October, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. 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. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
