Heat index

For October, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

The average relative humidity in October in Agra is 40%.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. 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. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
