The onset of October marks an average high-temperature of a sweltering 35.2°C (95.4°F), hardly differing from September's 32.8°C (91°F). During the month of October, the nighttime temperature in Kosti falls to an average of 23.4°C (74.1°F).

Heat index

October's mean heat index is computed to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
