Heat index

For most parts of October, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
