Temperature

During August and September, Waipahu registers its highest temperatures, averaging a high of 82°F (27.8°C).

Heat index

September's average heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). If one continues to be active during enduring exposure, it could result in fatigue and heat cramps.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.

Humidity

April through June and September, with an average relative humidity of 74%, are the least humid months.

Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes. Watch out! Sand and water enhance the UV exposure you receive.
