Weather in September
Temperature
Transitioning into September, Merritt Island records an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C), almost identical to August's 87.3°F (30.7°C). September nighttime temperatures hover close to the daytime peak with an average of 77.7°F (25.4°C).Heat index
September's average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
