Weather in October
Temperature
The arrival of October brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.6°C (85.3°F), subtly diverging from September's 28.7°C (83.7°F). Throughout October, Kigala registers a consistent average low-temperature of 19.7°C (67.5°F).Heat index
October's average heat index is computed to be a tropical 33°C (91.4°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
