October leaves behind its singular character, allowing the following months to usher in distinct weather conditions.

Heat index

For most parts of October, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
