October weather forecast
Koumogo, Chad

October's weather in Koumogo signals the retreat of the monsoon with a substantial reduction in both the rainfall to 63mm (2.48") and relative humidity to 65%. The drop in cloud coverage and the increase in sunlight hours indicate brighter and clearer days ahead. However, nature starts to prepare for the drier days ahead with stable wind conditions and a decrease in pressure levels.

Temperature

Upon the beginning of October, Koumogo's high-temperatures register at a still tropical 33.9°C (93°F), closely mirroring the preceding month. Koumogo's average low-temperature during October nights is observed to be a moderately hot 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Heat index

During October, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
