Weather in September

September in Panama City ushers in a break from the intense summer heat, introducing a slight cool-down. Despite the reduced day length, September maintains high UV radiation levels. The rainfall volume decreases compared to August's peak, presaging the approaching end of the four-month-long wet season. September's most discernable feature involves a decrease in temperatures having the highs at 85.5°F (29.7°C) and lows dropping to 74.7°F (23.7°C).

Temperature

September's presence marks an average high-temperature of a warm 85.5°F (29.7°C), subtly varied from August's 88.3°F (31.3°C). In September, Panama City experiences a temperature dip to an average of 74.7°F (23.7°C) at night.

Heat index

In September, the average heat index is evaluated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
