Heat index

For October, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
