Heat index

During October, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Constant exposure and activity lead to possible fatigue. Prolonged exercise may result in heat cramps.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun. Stay alert! Reflective properties of sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
