Also influenced by the rainfall, the humidity levels rise to 76%, a considerable shift from the preceding months. The daylight and sunshine hours continue to remain steady from September, with only minor changes. Fittingly, the increased rainfall impacts visibility which decreases to 8km (5mi).

Temperature

Kananga's shift into October is marked by a subtle change to a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F) from September's 33.4°C (92.1°F) in temperature. An average low-temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F) is observed during October nights.

Heat index

October's mean heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
