Weather in October
Temperature
Observing a minor shift, the average high-temperature during October adjusts from September's tropical 33.8°C (92.8°F) to a torrid 37.5°C (99.5°F). Keur Miniane's daily high temperature significantly diverges from the consistently recorded temperature low averaging a moderately hot 25.3°C (77.5°F) in October.Heat index
For October, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 52°C (125.6°F). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Be proactive in protecting yourself; skin and eyes can be harmed if left unprotected. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
