October weather forecast
Seguela, Ivory Coast

The noticeable changes in October reveal Seguela finally shrugging off the monsoons. The grand 255mm (10.04") of rainfall does not deter the gradual hiking up of the temperature, which now nudges to 29.8°C (85.6°F). Alongside, the city also enjoys a considerable increase in both sunshine and daylight hours. The substantial decrease in cloud cover, from 75% in September to 62%, adds to the brightening scenario. Coincidentally, the wind speed drops to 3.6km/h (2.2mph), indicating the onset of calmer days.

Heat index

October's average heat index is estimated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Note: During October, 6 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
