Heat index

For most parts of October, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. 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. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
