Temperature

The shift into October in Banikoara is characterized by a subtle rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from September's hot 32.3°C (90.1°F) to a sweltering 36.1°C (97°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during October is computed to be a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
