Heat index

October's mean heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
