Weather in September

September, the first month of the autumn in Dunedin, is still a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 77.7°F (25.4°C) and an average high of 86.5°F (30.3°C).

Temperature

With the start of September, Dunedin measures an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), not significantly differing from August's 88°F (31.1°C). Throughout September, a minimal difference from peak daytime temperatures is noted, marking a steady low-temperature average of 77.7°F (25.4°C).

Heat index

September's mean heat index is computed to be a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase 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. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage. Attention! The combination of sand and water reflections enhances UV ray intensity.
