The first month of the autumn, September, is also a hot month in Dayton, Alabama, with temperature in the range of an average high of 88°F (31.1°C) and an average low of 67.1°F (19.5°C).

Temperature

The unfolding of September shows an average high-temperature of a still hot 88°F (31.1°C), indicating a slight variance from August's 92.3°F (33.5°C). In Dayton, the average temperature during the nights of September drops to a comfortable 67.1°F (19.5°C).

Heat index

September's average heat index is calculated to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
