Heat index

During October, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

September and October, with an average relative humidity of 66%, are the least humid months.

Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
