Weather in September

The first month of the autumn, September, is still a tropical month in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, with temperature in the range of an average high of 86.5°F (30.3°C) and an average low of 76.3°F (24.6°C).

Temperature

September's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), barely different from August's 89.4°F (31.9°C). September nights are marked by an average low-temperature of 76.3°F (24.6°C).

Heat index

September's heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
