Heat index

The heat index value for October is estimated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light 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 'real feel' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
