Weather in September

September in Grand Prairie signifies the onset of fall, with gradually diminishing daylight hours and decreasing temperatures. Summers' fading echo can still be heard as the days maintain their warmth. An equivocal blend of sunny and overcast skies characterizes this month as the city bids adieu to summer heat. A notable plunge in temperature is experienced, reflecting the first whispers of autumn as temperatures slide to a maximum of 88°F (31.1°C). These conditions set the stage for the more pronounced autumnal attributes seen in October.

Temperature

The arrival of September suggests a slight decrease in the average high-temperature, moving from a sweltering 96.3°F (35.7°C) in August to a hot 88°F (31.1°C). September generally records an average low-temperature of 70.7°F (21.5°C).

Heat index

In September, the average heat index is computed to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
