October weather forecast
Ondo, Nigeria

With a noticeable reduction in rainfall down to 136mm (5.35") from a September high of 152mm (5.98"), Ondo in October signifies the end of the rainy season. Weather patterns show signs of a drying trend, with reduced humidity, less cloud cover, and increasing sunshine hours. The UV index begins to increase again, reminding residents to use adequate sun protection during outdoor activities. Despite these changes, October's temperatures remain pleasantly warm - a trend expected to continue into November.

Temperature

The advent of October signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a tropical 31.3°C (88.3°F), aligning closely with September. An average low-temperature of 22°C (71.6°F) is observed during October nights.

Heat index

For most parts of October, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. 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. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
