Temperature

With the onset of September, Murray's climate undergoes a slight change as the average high-temperature moves from a tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C) in August to a moderately hot 81.5°F (27.5°C). An average low-temperature of 62.2°F (16.8°C) marks the month of September in Murray.

Heat index

September's heat index is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
