Heat index

The heat index value for October is estimated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. 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. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
