September, the first month of the autumn in Sikes, is still a tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 88.3°F (31.3°C) and an average low of 67.8°F (19.9°C).

Temperature

With September's onset, the weather reveals a slight temperature decrease, transitioning from 94.1°F (34.5°C) in August to a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C). The nighttime temperature dips to a refreshing 67.8°F (19.9°C) on average during September.

Heat index

September's average heat index is appraised at a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
