October weather forecast
Kaloa, Ivory Coast

October ushers in significant changes in Kaloa's weather as it enters the year end phase. A notable decrease in rainfall volume to 88mm (3.46"), coupled with a rise in temperature, signals the concluding monsoon phase. The transition brings forth clearer skies, longer hours of sunshine and receding cloud cover. A rise in atmospheric pressure marks the shifting wind patterns in the region. This month witnesses a palpable decrease in overall humidity levels as well.

Temperature

Kaloa experiences an average high-temperature of a tropical 32°C (89.6°F) in October, subtly different from September's 29.5°C (85.1°F). During October, Kaloa experiences an average low-temperature of 22.1°C (71.8°F) at night.

Heat index

The heat index value for October is estimated at a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
