October weather forecast
Port Sudan, Sudan

October ushers in a notable change with temperatures sliding down to more comfortable levels. From the previous month's absence of precipitation, there is a significant rise in rainfall with 14mm (0.55") precipitating over 1.2 days. These sporadic showers, however, fail to
curb the dry conditions significantly. While pleasant sea temperatures persist, the gradual decline is becoming apparent. With the departure of October, Port Sudan moves closer to the end of the dry season, welcoming the onset of the darker and cloudier winter months.

Temperature

The shift from September to October includes a small decrease in the average high-temperature, from a torrid 37.4°C (99.3°F) to a hot 33.4°C (92.1°F). Port Sudan's temperature in October lowers to a consistent average of 25.3°C (77.5°F) during the nights.

Heat index

In October, the average heat index is appraised at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

October and November, with an average relative humidity of 72%, are the most humid months.

Take special precautions, as unprotected eyes and skin can be burned and damaged quickly. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat. Apply and frequently reapply a minimum SPF 30 sunscreen even on cloudy days, especially after swimming or an outdoor workout. Notice! Sand and water reflections contribute to a stronger UV exposure.
