Weather in October
Temperature
October comes with a subtle rise, with the average high-temperature adjusting from a tropical 32.9°C (91.2°F) in September to a sweltering 36.5°C (97.7°F). Ouargaye's temperature lowers to a mean of 24.7°C (76.5°F) during the nights in October.Heat index
October's heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

The months with the highest UV index are March through June and October, with an average maximum UV index of 8. A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: In October, the maximum UV index of 8 translates into these guidelines:
Without constant care, eyes and skin might suffer damage in a short time. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
