The advent of October reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 34.5°C (94.1°F), showing minimal difference from the prior month. An average nighttime temperature of 23.6°C (74.5°F) is witnessed in Jimeta, Nigeria throughout October.

Heat index

For most parts of October, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
