Heat index

The heat index value during October is evaluated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
