September, the first month of the autumn in Southport, is also a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 86.5°F (30.3°C) and an average low of 75.2°F (24°C).

Temperature

The onset of September manifests an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. September nights are marked by an average low-temperature of 75.2°F (24°C).

Heat index

The heat index in September is evaluated at a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. 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 hold great significance to children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing.
