Heat index

The heat index value for October is appraised at a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
