Heat index

Throughout October, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. 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 especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
