Weather in September

With September comes a shift in weather in Canton, Mississippi. It experiences the fall's initial freshness with the start of temperature drops compared to August. Even though rainfall also reduces, late summer rains are not uncommon. Steady wind and air pressure ensure predictability in weather conditions. Moreover, the UV index steps down a notch, reducing general sun caution requirements.

Temperature

The commencement of September brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.9°F (30.5°C), marking an inconsequential divergence from August. During the month of September, Canton anticipates a mean low-temperature of 67.1°F (19.5°C).

Heat index

September's heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
