Weather in October
Temperature
October brings an average high-temperature of a hot 30.5°C (86.9°F), nearly identical to the preceding month. Umuchu records a mean low-temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F) in October.Heat index
The average heat index in October is appraised at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
