Heat index

In October, the average heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
