Heat index

Throughout October, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
