Weather in September
Temperature
The shift from August to September coincides with a small decrease in the average high-temperature, down to a warm 84.6°F (29.2°C) from a tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C). An average low-temperature of 67.5°F (19.7°C) is noted during the month of September.Heat index
For September, the heat index is computed to be a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 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. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
