Weather in September

September, the first month of the autumn in Picayune, is still a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 88°F (31.1°C) and min 71.1°F (21.7°C).

Temperature

The shift into September reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 88°F (31.1°C), closely mirroring August's climate. In Picayune, September nights cool down to an average of 71.1°F (21.7°C).

Heat index

For most parts of September, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 104°F (40°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical 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 prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays. Watch out! The Sun's UV radiation can be nearly magnified twofold due to snow reflection.
