Weather in September

September, the first month of the autumn in Dover, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 68.2°F (20.1°C) and max 84.7°F (29.3°C).

Temperature

Dover's average high-temperature in September sits at a warm 84.7°F (29.3°C), showing little difference from the previous month. September nights experience a consistent temperature drop to a pleasant 68.2°F (20.1°C).

Heat index

During September, the heat index is appraised at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
