October's heat index is estimated at 27°C (80.6°F). Uninterrupted activity during exposure could lead to a sense of exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
