Weather in September

September, the first month of the autumn in August, is still a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 58.8°F (14.9°C) and max 88.7°F (31.5°C).

Temperature

August experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a still hot 88.7°F (31.5°C) with the onset of September, maintaining near parity with August's 93°F (33.9°C). August demonstrates a significant disparity from daytime highs throughout the month of September, with an average nighttime temperature of 58.8°F (14.9°C).

Heat index

During September, the heat index is estimated at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
