Weather in October
Temperature
The average high-temperature during October registers at a hot 30.3°C (86.5°F), closely corresponding to the preceding month. During the nights of October, Akowonjo maintains an almost steady temperature with an average low of 25.5°C (77.9°F).Heat index
October's heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
