Heat index

October's heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. 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. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration. Take caution! The UV rays from the Sun gain strength from sand and water reflections.
