Heat index

The average heat index in October is computed to be a sweltering 100.4°F. Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
