October initiates the gradual return to aridity, with substantially reduced rainfall. The city of Al Qadarif settles from the monsoon's aftermath, making it an ideal time to explore the city under pleasant weather conditions. A decrease in humidity, coupled with receding rainfall, reintroduces the earlier dry and semi-arid climate prominent earlier in the year. A characteristic of this month is the lower wind speed of 9.1km/h (5.7mph) compared to the windier monsoon season. The transition phase of October discreetly prepares for the dry, sunny months ahead.

Heat index

In October, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. 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 risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
