Heat index

October's mean heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
