Heat index

The heat index in October is evaluated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Note: In October, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
