Heat index

October's average heat index is estimated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
