Heat index

Throughout October, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. 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.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun 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.
