Weather in October

October presents a considerable plunge in rainfall, with amounts reducing sharply to 23mm (0.91") average in Koulikoro, Mali. With the decrease in cloud coverage, the days become brighter, and many activities put on hold during the wet months resume. October’s departure from the summertime humidity gradually reintroduces the classic Saharan climate. The return of the drier days signifies the approach of Koulikoro's peak tourist season. The reduction in humidity and cloud cover is a prelude to the city's transition back to its quintessential dry and hot weather.

The transition from September to October brings a subtle temperature rise, with average high-temperatures increasing from a hot 32.5°C (90.5°F) to a torrid 35.7°C (96.3°F). October nights present a stark temperature decrease to a warm 23.2°C (73.8°F).

Heat index

During October, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
