Weather in October
Temperature
As Koïlal, Senegal, welcomes October, the average high-temperature sees a modest rise, transitioning from a tropical 33.9°C (93°F) in September to a very hot 37.5°C (99.5°F). Nightfall in October introduces a considerable dip in temperature, settling at an average of 25.3°C (77.5°F).Heat index
October's mean heat index is appraised at a burning hot 52°C (125.6°F). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
