Weather in September
Temperature
September's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C) from August's 90.1°F (32.3°C). Throughout September, Saint Elmo witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 70.5°F (21.4°C).Heat index
The heat index for September is computed to be a scorching 104°F (40°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
