Heat index

The average heat index in October is estimated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
