Weather in October
Temperature
With the advent of October, Kimpoko experiences an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.7°C (87.3°F), mirroring a close resemblance to the previous month. Kimpoko's nights in October cool down to an average low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F).Heat index
Throughout October, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. 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 hold particular significance for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
