Heat index

In October, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
