September, the first month of the autumn in Melrose, is still a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 88.9°F (31.6°C) and 68°F (20°C).

A minor decrease in the average high-temperature is observed during September, shifting from a tropical 94.3°F (34.6°C) in August to a still hot 88.9°F (31.6°C). During September, an average low-temperature of 68°F (20°C) is observed.

Heat index

The heat index for September is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. 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 especially vital to children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
