Weather in September

The first month of the autumn, September, is still a hot month in River Ridge, Louisiana, with an average temperature varying between 75°F (23.9°C) and 86.5°F (30.3°C).

Temperature

The beginning of September reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. In the month of September, River Ridge witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 75°F (23.9°C).

Heat index

In September, the average heat index is computed to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
