Temperature

Nabéré transitions into October recording an average high-temperature of a still hot 34.6°C (94.3°F), closely aligning with the preceding month's temperature. Nabéré, during the month of October, experiences an average low-temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in October is appraised at an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
