Weather in September

September, the first month of the autumn in Dismal Key, is still a tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 87.1°F (30.6°C) and 78.4°F (25.8°C).

Temperature

As August transitions into September, the average high-temperature rests at a still hot 87.1°F (30.6°C), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. Dismal Key documents an average low-temperature of 78.4°F (25.8°C) for the nights of September.

Heat index

In September, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. 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. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
