Heat index

The heat index in October is evaluated at an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
