Heat index

During November, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
