Weather in September

September, the first month of the autumn in Sun, is still a hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 70.2°F (21.2°C) and 88°F (31.1°C).

Temperature

The advent of September sees the average high-temperature at a still hot 88°F (31.1°C), subtly shifted from August's 91.6°F (33.1°C). Throughout September, the average low-temperature dips to an agreeable 70.2°F (21.2°C).

Heat index

In September, the heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, 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 are particularly relevant to children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Note: The daily high UV index of 6 in September translates into this advice:
Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
