September, the first month of the autumn in Essen, is still a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 87.8°F (31°C) and an average low of 70.3°F (21.3°C).

Temperature

The introduction of September notes a subtle temperature variation to a still tropical 87.8°F (31°C) from August's 91.2°F (32.9°C). Throughout the September nights, Essen encounters a low-temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C).

Heat index

September's mean heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
