Heat index

In October, the average heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In October, the UV index of 7 transforms into the following advice:
Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
