October weather forecast
Al Qadarif, Sudan

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.

Temperature

The shift to October signals an average high-temperature of a very hot 36.4°C (97.5°F), subtly varied from September's 34.5°C (94.1°F). Al Qadarif, in October, experiences an average temperature of 25.3°C (77.5°F) at night.

Heat index

The heat index in October is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Being unprotected puts skin and eyes at risk of rapid damage. Always be safe. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
