October weather forecast
Mores, Guinea-Bissau

October, the same as September, in Mores, Guinea-Bissau, is a hot autumn month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 24°C (75.2°F) and an average high of 34.5°C (94.1°F).

Temperature

With the onset of October, the average high-temperature subtly transitions from a tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F) in September to a still hot 34.5°C (94.1°F). October nights observe an average temperature dip to a warm 24°C (75.2°F).

Heat index

For most parts of October, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
