October weather forecast
Adok, South Sudan

In October, Adok transitions towards a drier state, with a marked reduction in rain and cloud cover. The descent in rainfall is mirrored by a proportional decrease in relative humidity. The return of ample sunshine hours resets the clocks back to the city's dry phase. The region documents a decrease in rainfall to 53mm (2.09"), signaling a definitive tilt towards aridity. Thus, October brings the city closer to its natural meteorological equilibrium.

Temperature

In October, Adok experiences a minor shift in meteorological conditions with average high-temperatures marked at a still hot 34.7°C (94.5°F), closely mirroring the climate in September. Throughout October, the average low-temperature in Adok dips to a moderately hot 23.4°C (74.1°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in October is evaluated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in October in Adok is 62%.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
