Weather in September

With the onset of September, Phenix City's weather transitions from the heat of August towards the cooler autumn months. A notable decrease in temperature makes for more comfortable conditions. Rainfall, too, decreases, and the city sees shorter daylight hours. Despite this cutback in sunshine hours, the UV index remains relatively high, maintaining the sun's intensity. The fall season commences with a significant decrease in rainfall to 1.38in, making September the month with the least rainfall.

Temperature

The transition from August to September sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), from a not significantly different 91.4°F (33°C). Throughout September nights, Phenix City experiences a consistent temperature average of 68°F (20°C).

Heat index

September's average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
