Weather in September
Temperature
With the onset of September, Lancaster's average high-temperature slightly adjusts, moderately receding from August's hot 88.3°F (31.3°C) to a moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C). Lancaster, during September nights, observes an average temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
For most parts of September, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If one persists in activity during exposure, it could induce weariness and subsequently, heat cramps.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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.
