Heat index

Throughout October, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
