Weather in October
Temperature
As October begins, there's a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a hot 33.5°C (92.3°F) in September to a sweltering 36.5°C (97.7°F). Boutoko's average low-temperature in the month of October is recorded at a warm 25°C (77°F).Heat index
October's average heat index is computed to be a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Sunshine

In October, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: The daily maximum UV index of 7 in October interprets into the following advice:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
