Weather in September

September in Destin represents the transition from summer to fall. While the weather remains warm, a subtle fall in temperatures begins to reflect the change in seasons. However, the sea remains remarkably warm, maintaining the favorability of water activities. Interestingly, rainfall dips to 3.07" (78mm), marking a significant decrease from the summer months. Despite the decrease, still accounting for wet days, it paves the way for the drier upcoming months.

Temperature

The advent of September signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.8°F (29.9°C), aligning closely with August. Destin, during the month of September, experiences an average low-temperature of 74.7°F (23.7°C).

Heat index

During September, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
