Weather in October
Temperature
A minor escalation in the average high-temperature is seen with the onset of October, moving from a tropical 34.4°C (93.9°F) in September to a fiery hot 37.9°C (100.2°F). October nights in Darou Karim present a sharp contrast to daytime highs, with average temperatures of 25.5°C (77.9°F).Heat index
The heat index value during October is computed to be a life-threatening hot 50°C (122°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
