Heat index

In October, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 especially vital to children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary.

By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
