The transition into September shows a subtle variation to a moderately hot 85.5°F (29.7°C) from August's 90.3°F (32.4°C) in the average high-temperature. Fairfield's average low-temperature in the month of September is recorded at a refreshing 66°F (18.9°C).

Heat index

Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
