Heat index

October's mean heat index is calculated to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. 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. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear. Heads up! The reflection of sand and water notably intensifies UV rays from the Sun.
