October weather forecast
Luebo, Democratic Republic of Congo

As October presides over Luebo, the city witnesses an escalation in rainfall to approximately 109mm (4.29"). This augmentation, combined with cooler temperature ranges, fosters a moderately cold and damp climate. Moreover, relative humidity levels spike, whilst daylight hours slightly increase. Aided by the moderate temperatures, the high humidity levels make the city's climate feel noticeably colder. Luebo thus enters fully into the wet season, with October serving as a segue to the cooler, damper months that follow.

Temperature

The transition into October in Luebo is marked with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), showing an insignificant shift from September's 33.4°C (92.1°F). During the nights in October, the temperature averages to an agreeable 21.5°C (70.7°F).

Heat index

October's average heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. 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.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
