Temperature

The shift to September signals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.1°F (30.6°C), subtly varied from August's 90.9°F (32.7°C). Throughout the month of September, Montgomery witnesses an average temperature of 67.3°F (19.6°C).

Heat index

Throughout September, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
