Heat index

The heat index for October is evaluated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: In October, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key. Attention! UV radiation is ramped up when reflecting off sand and water surfaces.
