Temperature

In October, the meteorological conditions subtly change with the average high-temperature edging from a tropical 30.9°C (87.6°F) in September to a still hot 33.9°C (93°F). In October, Kangounadeni experiences a temperature dip to an average of 23°C (73.4°F) at night.

Heat index

The heat index value during October is calculated to be an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
