September weather forecast
Terra Ceia, FL

September, the first month of the autumn in Terra Ceia, is still a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 86.2°F (30.1°C) and 77.9°F (25.5°C).

Temperature

The average high-temperature for September is a still tropical 86.2°F (30.1°C), closely aligning with the temperature of the preceding month. The low temperature average during September reflects a slight decrease to a moderately hot 77.9°F (25.5°C) from the day's peak.

Heat index

September's heat index is computed to be a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in September is 75%.

Rainfall

In Terra Ceia, during September, the rain falls for 21.5 days and regularly aggregates up to 3.43" (87mm) of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 166.4 rainfall days, and 26.38" (670mm) of precipitation is accumulated.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: The daily high UV index of 7 during September translates into the following recommendations:
Act on precautions and pay attention to sun safety recommendations. Avoidance of sunburn is obligatory. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
