Heat index

In October, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

In October, the average relative humidity is 84%.

Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
