Heat index

October's heat index is estimated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
