Weather in October
Temperature
As September gives way to October, the average high-temperature displays a slight ascent, adjusting from a hot 33.9°C (93°F) to a sweltering 37.5°C (99.5°F). Keur Diabel reports a significant contrast between daytime and nighttime temperatures, with an average low of 25.3°C (77.5°F) in October.Heat index
October's average heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 52°C (125.6°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: The maximum UV index, 8 during October, leads to the following recommendations:
Protection should always be a priority. Skin and eyes are vulnerable without it. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
