September, the first month of the autumn in Rhodes, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 70.3°F (21.3°C) and max 87.8°F (31°C).

Temperature

Heat index

The heat index for September is estimated at an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for 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.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
