Weather in September

The advent of September marks a mild decrease in temperature, hinting at the approaching season change. The weather promises the arrival of fall, as the persistent heat begins to fade away. However, the decrease in temperature to 87.6°F (30.9°C) is only modest and the air remains warm overall. The days start getting shorter, signaling the pending arrival of autumn. Meanwhile, the wind starts to pick up and people venture out for pleasant evening walks without the burden of the summer heat.

Temperature

The shift into September reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.6°F (30.9°C), closely mirroring August's climate. Sulphur's nighttime temperature during September is consistently averaged at an agreeable 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Heat index

September's heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
