Heat index

For October, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
