Weather in September

September marks the onset of autumn in Zachary, Louisiana. The weather begins to cool down, with a notable decrease in the daily high temperatures. As the humidity levels begin to stabilize, the transition from summer to autumn becomes evident. The anticipation of October brings an even more pronounced decrease in temperatures and daylight hours. Importantly, September still presents relatively high temperatures, with the average high being 87.8°F (31°C).

Temperature

Zachary experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a still hot 87.8°F (31°C) with the onset of September, maintaining near parity with August's 91.8°F (33.2°C). Zachary in September anticipates an average nighttime temperature of 69.3°F (20.7°C).

Heat index

In September, the average heat index is estimated at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important 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.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
