Heat index

October's average heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
