Weather in September

September brings a decrease in humidity and a slight drop in temperature in Auburn. The end of summer stirs a sense of relief among residents as the temperatures move from extreme to moderate. The onset of fall brings an array of vibrant colors, leaving the city irresistibly beautiful. Significant weather data reports a wind gust speed of 8.8mph (14.2km/h), the highest recorded since May. The arrival of October continues the downward temperature trend and gifts the city with an increase in windy days.

Temperature

The beginning of September records an average high-temperature of a still hot 86°F (30°C), marking a negligible difference from August's 90.1°F (32.3°C). Auburn experiences a steady low-temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C) throughout September.

Heat index

The heat index value during September is estimated at a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
