October weather forecast
Kore, Togo

October delights with perceptibly drier conditions in Kore, as the transition from the rainy season to the dry season goes into full swing. The engaging shift from the 108mm (4.25") rainfall in September to a substantial reduction to 61mm (2.4") becomes a highpoint. Moving from October to November, the weather takes on an even drier tableau, with fewer rainy days and significantly less rainfall. The cloud cover continues to reduce, amplifying the sunshine hours and heralding the return of clear, blue skies. With the wind speed maintaining a steady pace, it adds to the overall pleasantness of the weather throughout this month.

Temperature

The shift into October is accompanied by a modest temperature increase, with the average high-temperature edging up from 30.2°C (86.4°F) in September to a still tropical 33.2°C (91.8°F). During October, Kore experiences a consistent low-temperature average of 22.9°C (73.2°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in October is computed to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
