Weather in September

September, an entryway to the autumn season, mirrors the cooling trend of the temperatures in Long Beach, scaling down to 86.4°F (30.2°C). This dip in temperature is a subtle nod to the approaching cooler months. While the rainfall levels go down as compared to the peak summer months, the humidity remains constant, maintaining the summer's ethereal coastal vibe. As the city experiences fewer daylight hours with the arrival of fall, the changing weather dynamics provide a distinctive end to the more heated months.

Temperature

The arrival of September brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.4°F (30.2°C), nearly identical to August's 89.4°F (31.9°C). The average temperature during September nights is registered at a warm 74.3°F (23.5°C).

Heat index

Throughout September, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
