Heat index

In September, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Humidity

In September, the average relative humidity is 75%.

UV index

May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In September, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection. Be on guard! The reflective nature of sand and water boosts UV exposure.
