Heat index

October's average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

UV index

January through May, August through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: In October, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears. Caution! The Sun's UV intensity grows with reflections off sand and water.
