September, the first month of the autumn in Palo Alto, is also a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 90.3°F (32.4°C) and an average low of 76.3°F (24.6°C).

Temperature

With the arrival of September, Palo Alto notices a mild change in the average high-temperature, sliding from August's torrid 95.9°F (35.5°C) to a tropical 90.3°F (32.4°C). Palo Alto, in September, observes a steady average low-temperature of 76.3°F (24.6°C).

Heat index

For September, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
