Weather in September

The first month of the autumn, September, is still a hot month in Fordyce, Arkansas, with an average temperature ranging between max 86.5°F (30.3°C) and min 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Temperature

The advent of September brings a subtle shift in temperature, with the average high moving from 92.8°F (33.8°C) in August to a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C). September's nights observe an average temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Heat index

September's mean heat index is computed to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
