October weather forecast
Iboundiou, Togo

October, like September, is a hot autumn month in Iboundiou, Togo, with an average temperature varying between 33.2°C (91.8°F) and 22.9°C (73.2°F).

Temperature

The transition from September to October brings a subtle temperature rise, with average high-temperatures increasing from a hot 30.2°C (86.4°F) to a still tropical 33.2°C (91.8°F). During the October nights, an average temperature of 22.9°C (73.2°F) is observed.

Heat index

For most parts of October, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
