Heat index

October's average heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
