Weather in September

September, the first month of the autumn in Ridgecrest, is still a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 68.2°F (20.1°C) and max 87.3°F (30.7°C).

Temperature

The beginning of September records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C), marking a negligible difference from August's 90.7°F (32.6°C). Ridgecrest, during the month of September, experiences an average low-temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C).

Heat index

In September, the average heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
