Weather in October
Temperature
Banou's transition into October brings a slight rise in the average high-temperature, moving from a tropical 32.9°C (91.2°F) in September to a sweltering 36.5°C (97.7°F). In October, Banou's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 24.8°C (76.6°F) during the night.Heat index
During October, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 highly important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in October is 51%.Rainfall
In Banou, in October, during 7.9 rainfall days, 31mm (1.22") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 96 rainfall days, and 407mm (16.02") of precipitation is accumulated.Daylight

Sunshine

In Banou, the average daily maximum UV index in October is 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In October, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
