Temperature

The beginning of September reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.9°F (30.5°C), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. During September, McElroy's temperature falls to a steady low-temperature average of 72°F (22.2°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for September is computed to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
