October weather forecast
Yelimane, Mali

October marks a significant change in Yelimane, Mali’s weather landscape. The rainfall retreats significantly, leaving clear, open skies soaking in plenty of sunshine. The still-present humidity couples with the daytime heat to form fairly cooler nights. The maximum temperature observed is 38.2°C (100.8°F), maintaining the warm outlook, yet can be considered easing compared to the previous hotter months. November reasons well with further temperature drops, gradually transitioning towards the coldest months of the year.

Temperature

In Yelimane, stepping into October brings a gentle temperature nudge, moving slightly up from September's tropical 34.6°C (94.3°F) to a fiery hot 38.2°C (100.8°F). Yelimane's average low-temperature of 26°C (78.8°F) in October reflects a considerable decline from the daytime peak.

Heat index

The average heat index in October is appraised at a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Protection is paramount; otherwise, swift harm can come to the skin and eyes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
