The heat index for October is calculated to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. 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 hold particular significance for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. 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. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
