October weather forecast
Kineta, Ivory Coast

October, like September, is a hot autumn month in Kineta, Ivory Coast, with an average temperature varying between 22.9°C (73.2°F) and 33.2°C (91.8°F).

Temperature

The advent of October brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.2°C (91.8°F), almost identical to the preceding month. The mean low-temperature during October nights is an agreeable 22.9°C (73.2°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for October is evaluated at a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Humidity

In October, the average relative humidity is 72%.

Rainfall

UV index

In October, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in October suggests the following recommendations:
Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. 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. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
