Temperature

The introduction of September notes a subtle temperature variation to a still hot 86.7°F (30.4°C) from August's 87.8°F (31°C). During the month of September, Laurel identifies an average nighttime low-temperature of 77.9°F (25.5°C), slightly lower than its daytime counterpart.

Heat index

September's average heat index is computed to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
