Heat index

During October, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial 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.
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. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
